1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Transcriptional activation in human cell-free systems containing RNA polymerase II and general initiation factors requires the action of one or more additional coactivators. Here, we report the isolation of cDNAs encoding two novel human transcriptional coactivators (p52 and p75) that are derived from alternatively spliced products of a single gene and share a region of 325 residues, but show distinct coactivator properties. p52 and p75 both show strong interactions with the VP16 activation domain and several components of the general transcriptional machinery. p52, like the previously described PC4, is a potent broad-specificity coactivator, whereas p75 is less active for most activation domains. These results suggest that p52 is a general transcriptional coactivator that mediates functional interactions between upstream sequence-specific activators and the general transcription apparatus, possibly through a novel mechanism.
