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 Skp1-Cullin-1/Cdc53-F-box protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligase plays an important role in various biological processes. In this enzyme complex, a variety of F-box proteins act as receptors that recruit substrates. We have identified a fission yeast gene encoding a novel F-box protein Pof3, which contains, in addition to the F-box, a tetratricopeptide repeat motif in its N terminus and a leucine-rich-repeat motif in the C terminus, two ubiquitous protein-protein interaction domains. Pof3 forms a complex with Skp1 and Pcu1 (fission yeast cullin-1), suggesting that Pof3 functions as an adaptor for specific substrates. In the absence of Pof3, cells exhibit a number of phenotypes reminiscent of genome integrity defects. These include G2 cell cycle delay, hypersensitivity to UV, appearance of lagging chromosomes, and a high rate of chromosome loss. pof3 deletion strains are viable because the DNA damage checkpoint is continuously activated in the mutant, and this leads to G2 cell cycle delay, thereby preventing the mutant from committing lethal mitosis. Pof3 localizes to the nucleus during the cell cycle. Molecular analysis reveals that in this mutant the telomere is substantially shortened and furthermore transcriptional silencing at the telomere is alleviated. The results highlight a role of the SCF(Pof3) ubiquitin ligase in genome integrity via maintaining chromatin structures.
