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

This work reports the functional analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae open reading frame YIL121w, encoding a member of a family of drug:H(+) antiporters with 12 predicted membrane-spanning segments (DHA12 family). Like its close homologue Qdr1p, Yil121wp was localized at the plasma membrane, and its increased expression also led to increased tolerance to the antiarrhythmia and antimalarial drug quinidine. The quinidine resistance phenotype was confirmed for different yeast strains and growth media, including a prototrophic strain, and YIL121w was named the QDR2 gene. Both QDR1 and QDR2 were also implicated in yeast resistance to the herbicide barban (4-chloro-2-butynyl [3-chlorophenyl] carbamate), and the genes are functionally interchangeable with respect to both resistance phenotypes. The average intracellular pH of a yeast population challenged with quinidine added to the acidic growth medium was significantly below the intracellular pH of the unstressed population, suggesting plasma membrane permeabilization by quinidine with consequent increase of the H(+) influx rate. For the same extracellular quinidine concentration, internal acidification was more intense for the Deltaqdr2 deletant compared with the parental strain. Although QDR2 transcription was not enhanced in response to quinidine, the results confirmed that Qdr2p is involved in the active export of quinidine out of the cell, thus conferring resistance to the drug.
