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

Maturation of protein-coding precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) is closely linked to RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription. However, the mechanistic understanding of how pre-mRNA processing is coordinated with transcription remains incomplete. Conserved proteins interacting with the C-terminal domain of the largest catalytic subunit of Pol II and nascent RNA (CID-RRM factors) were demonstrated to play a role in pre-mRNA 3'-end processing and termination of Pol II transcription. Here, we use a fully reconstituted system to demonstrate that the fission yeast CID-RRM factor Seb1 acts as a bona fide elongation factor. Our analyses show that Seb1 exhibits context-dependent regulation of Pol II pausing, capable of either promoting or inhibiting pause site entry. We propose that CID-RRM factors coordinate Pol II transcription and pre-mRNA 3'-end processing by modulating the rate of Pol II transcription.
