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

SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase) is a highly conserved transcriptional coactivator that consists of four functionally independent modules. Its two distinct enzymatic activities, histone acetylation and deubiquitylation, establish specific epigenetic patterns on chromatin and thereby regulate gene expression. Whereas earlier studies emphasized the importance of SAGA in regulating global transcription, more recent reports have indicated that SAGA is involved in other aspects of gene expression and thus plays a more comprehensive role in regulating the overall process. Here, we discuss recent structural and functional studies of each SAGA module and compare the subunit compositions of SAGA with related complexes in yeast and metazoans. We discuss the regulatory role of the SAGA deubiquitylating module (DUBm) in mRNA surveillance and export, and in transcription initiation and elongation. The findings suggest that SAGA plays numerous roles in multiple stages of transcription. Further, we describe how SAGA is related to human disease. Overall, in this report, we illustrate the newly revealed understanding of SAGA in transcription regulation and disease implications for fine-tuning gene expression.
