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

In yeast, sphingoid base synthesis is required for the internalization step of endocytosis and organization of the actin cytoskeleton. We show that overexpression of either one of the two kinases Pkh1p or Pkh2p, that are homologous to mammalian 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1), can specifically suppress the sphingoid base synthesis requirement for endocytosis. Pkh1p and Pkh2p have an overlapping function because only a mutant with impaired function of both kinases is defective for endocytosis. Pkh1/2p kinases are activated in vitro by nanomolar concentrations of sphingoid base. These results suggest that Pkh1/2p kinases are part of a sphingoid base-mediated signaling pathway that is required for the internalization step of endocytosis. The Pkc1p kinase that is phosphorylated by Pkh1/2p kinases and plays a role in endocytosis was identified as one of the downstream effectors of this signaling cascade.
