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 defined five sev genes by genetic analysis of Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutants, which are defective in both proliferation and sporulation. sev1(+)/cdt2(+) was transcribed during the G1-S phase of the mitotic cell cycle, as well as during the premeiotic S phase. The mitotic expression of cdt2(+) was regulated by the MCB-DSC1 system. A mutant of a component of DSC1 affected cdt2(+) expression in vivo, and a cdt2(+) promoter fragment containing MCB motifs bound DSC1 in vitro. Cdt2 protein also accumulated in S phase and localized to the nucleus. cdt2 null mutants grew slowly at 30 degrees and were unable to grow at 19 degrees. These cdt2 mutants were also medially sensitive to hydroxyurea, camptothecin, and 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide and were synthetically lethal in combination with DNA replication checkpoint mutations. Flow cytometry analysis and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed that S-phase progression was severely retarded in cdt2 mutants, especially at low temperatures. Under sporulation conditions, premeiotic DNA replication was impaired with meiosis I blocked. Furthermore, overexpression of suc22(+), a ribonucleotide reductase gene, fully complemented the sporulation defect of cdt2 mutants and alleviated their growth defect at 19 degrees. These observations suggest that cdt2(+) plays an important role in DNA replication in both the mitotic and the meiotic life cycles of fission yeast.
