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 have identified a family of six hexose transporter genes (Ght1 to Ght6) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Sequence homology to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammalian hexose transporters (Hxtp and GLUTp, respectively) and secondary-structure predictions of 12 transmembrane domains for each of the Ght proteins place them into the sugar porter subfamily within the major facilitator superfamily. Interestingly, among this sugar porter family, the emerging S. pombe hexose transporter family clusters are separate from monosaccharide transporters of other yeasts (S. cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces lactis, and Candida albicans) and of humans, suggesting that these proteins form a distinct structural family of hexose transporters. Expression of the Ght1, Ght2, Ght5, and Ght6 genes in the S. cerevisiae mutant RE700A may functionally complement its D-glucose uptake-deficient phenotype. Northern blot analysis and reverse transcription-PCR showed that among all Ght's of S. pombe, Ght5 is the most prominently expressed hexose transporter. Ght1p, Ght2p, and Ght5p displayed significantly higher specificities for D-glucose than for D-fructose. Analysis of the previously described S. pombe D-glucose transport-deficient mutant YGS-5 revealed that this strain is defective in the Ght1, Ght5, and Ght6 genes. Based on an analysis of three S. pombe strains bearing single or double mutations in Ght3 and Ght4, we conclude that the Ght3p function is required for D-gluconate transport in S. pombe. The function of Ght4p remains to be clarified. Ght6p exhibited a slightly higher affinity to D-fructose than to D-glucose, and among the Ght's it is the transporter with the highest specificity for D-fructose.
