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

Mammalian INT6 protein has been considered to be a subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor, eIF3. The Int6 locus is also known as a common integration site of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV). However, the function of Int6 in translation initiation and the mechanism of Int6-mediated tumor induction are yet to be explored. In this study, the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, int6(+), which is 43% identical to the mammalian counterpart, was deleted. Despite the evidence that the majority of Int6 protein was associated with 40S particles in this organism, strains lacking int6(+) (Deltaint6) were viable and showed only moderate inhibition in the rate of in vivo global protein synthesis. Polysome profile analysis showed no apparent defects in translation initiation. Deltaint6 exhibited a hypersensitivity to caffeine, which could be suppressed by the addition of sorbitol to the growth medium. This and other phenotypes would imply that int6(+) is required for the integrity of cell membrane. In meiosis, Deltaint6 produced incomplete tetrads frequently. High dosage expression of a truncated mutant of int6(+) conferred a hypersensitivity to caffeine, but did not cause the defect in meiosis. A possible link between the function of int6(+) and the Deltaint6-phenotypes is discussed.
