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

Saccharomyces cerevisiae are able to convert proline to glutamate so that it may be used as a source of nitrogen. Here, we show that the activator of the proline utilization genes, Put3p, is transcriptionally inert in the absence of proline but transcriptionally active in its presence. The activation of Put3p requires no additional yeast proteins and can occur in the presence of certain proline analogues: an unmodified pyrrolidine ring is able to activate Put3p as efficiently as proline itself. In addition, we show that a direct interaction occurs between Put3p and proline. These data, which represent direct control of transcriptional activator function by a metabolite, are discussed in terms of the regulation of proline-specific genes in yeast and as a general mechanism of the control of transcription.
