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

Guanylic nucleotides are essential cellular players, and the critical enzyme in their tightly regulated synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is encoded by the IMD2 gene. The transcription of IMD2 is subject to general repression by nutrient limitation through the cis nutrient-sensing element. It is also subject to specific feedback regulation by the end products of the guanylic nucleotide synthesis pathway. The critical cis element for this latter mechanism is the guanine response element (GRE), a TATAATA sequence which is located 202 nucleotides upstream of the transcription initiation site and which functions as the IMD2 TATA box. We show that the GRE functions in conjunction with a 52-nucleotide stretch near the transcription start site. This very unusual promoter structure ensures low, basal expression of IMD2 and the recruitment of TFIID to the GRE in response to guanylic nucleotide limitation.
