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

Yeast cells Saccharomyces cerevisiae, late embryogenic abundant-like stress response protein Hsp 12 (heat-shock protein 12) were found by immunocytochemistry to be located both in the cytoplasm and in the cell wall, from where they could be extracted with dilute NaOH solutions. Yeast cells with the Hsp 12 gene disrupted were unable to grow in the presence of either 12 mM caffeine or 0.43 mM Congo Red, molecules known to affect cell-wall integrity. The volume of yeast cells were less affected by rapid changes in the osmolality of the growth medium when compared with the wild-type yeast cells, suggesting a role for Hsp 12 in the flexibility of the cell wall. This was also suggested by subjecting the yeast cells to rapid changes in barometric pressure where it was found that wild-type yeast cells were more resistant to cellular breakage.
