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

We reported previously that the product of the DNA damage-inducible gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, DIN7, belongs to a family of proteins that are involved in DNA repair and replication. The family includes S. cerevisiae proteins Rad2p and its human homolog XPGC, Rad27p and its mammalian homolog FEN-1, and Exonuclease I (Exo I). Here, we report that Din7p specifically affects metabolism of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). We have found that dun1 strains, defective in the transcriptional activation of the DNA damage-inducible genes RNR1, RNR2, and RNR3, exhibit an increased frequency in the formation of the mitochondrial petite (rho(-)) mutants. This high frequency of petites arising in the dun1 strains is significantly reduced by the din7::URA3 allele. On the other hand, overproduction of Din7p from the DIN7 gene placed under control of the GAL1 promoter dramatically increases the frequency of petite formation and the frequency of mitochondrial mutations conferring resistance to erythromycin (E(r)). The frequencies of chromosomal mutations conferring resistance to canavanine (Can(r)) or adenine prototrophy (Ade(+)) are not affected by enhanced synthesis of Din7p. Experiments using Din7p fused to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and cell fractionation experiments indicate that the protein is located in mitochondria. A possible mechanism that may be responsible for the decreased stability of the mitochondrial genome in S. cerevisiae cells with elevated levels of Din7p is discussed.
