Functional roles for evolutionarily conserved Spt4p at centromeres and heterochromatin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Article in The EMBO journal, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 39 papers.
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.
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 kinetochore (centromeric DNA and associated proteins) mediates the attachment of chromosomes to the mitotic spindle apparatus and is required for faithful chromosome transmission. We established that evolutionarily conserved Saccharomyces cerevisiae SPT4, previously identified in genetic screens for defects in chromosome transmission fidelity (ctf), encodes a new structural component of specialized chromatin at kinetochores and heterochromatic loci, with roles in kinetochore function and gene silencing. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation assays (ChIP), we determined that kinetochore proteins Ndc10p, Cac1p, and Hir1p are required for the association of Spt4p to centromeric (CEN) loci. Absence of functional Spt4p leads to altered chromatin structure at the CEN DNA and mislocalization of the mammalian CENP-A homolog Cse4p to noncentromeric loci. Spt4p associates with telomeres (TEL) and HMRa loci in a Sir3p-dependent manner and is required for transcriptional gene silencing. We show that a human homolog of SPT4 (HsSPT4) complements Scspt4-silencing defects and associates with ScCEN DNA in an Ndc10p-dependent manner. Our results highlight the evolutionary conservation of pathways required for genome stability in yeast and humans.
