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

In eukaryotes the regulation of gene expression plays a key role in controlling cell cycle progression. Here, we demonstrate that a forkhead transcription factor, Fkh2, regulates the periodic expression of cdc15(+) and spo12(+) in the M and G(1) phases of the cell division cycle in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We also show that Fkh2 is important for several cell cycle processes, including cell morphology and cell separation, nuclear structure and migration, and mitotic spindle function. We find that the expression of fkh2(+) is itself regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner in G(1) coincident with the expression of cdc18(+), a Cdc10-regulated gene. However, fkh2(+) expression is independent of Cdc10 function. Fkh2 was found to be phosphorylated during the cell division cycle, with a timing that suggests that this posttranslational modification is important for cdc15(+) and spo12(+) expression. Related forkhead proteins regulate G(2) and M phase-specific gene expression in the evolutionarily distant Saccharomyces cerevisiae, suggesting that these proteins play conserved roles in regulating cell cycle processes in eukaryotes.
