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

The T(2) family of nonspecific endoribonucleases (EC ) is a widespread family of RNases found in every organism examined thus far. Most T(2) enzymes are secretory RNases and therefore are found extracellularly or in compartments of the endomembrane system that would minimize their contact with cellular RNA. Although the biological functions of various T(2) RNases have been postulated on the basis of enzyme location or gene expression patterns, the cellular roles of these enzymes are generally unknown. In the present work, we characterized Rny1, the only T(2) RNase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Rny1 was found to be an active, secreted RNase whose gene expression is controlled by heat shock and osmotic stress. Inactivation of RNY1 leads to unusually large cells that are temperature-sensitive for growth. These phenotypes can be complemented not only by RNY1 but also by both structurally related and unrelated secretory RNases. Additionally, the complementation depends on RNase activity. When coupled with a recent report on the effect of specific RNAs on membrane permeability [Khvorova, A., Kwak, Y-G., Tamkun, M., Majerfeld, I. & Yarus, M. (1999) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96, 10649-10654], our work suggests an unexpected role for Rny1 and possibly other secretory RNases. These enzymes may regulate membrane permeability or stability, a hypothesis that could present an alternative perspective for understanding their functions.
