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

Revertants were isolated from v-fos-transformed rat-1 cells cotransfected with a human cDNA expression library and a selectable marker (pMEX-neo). Molecular analysis of one clone, R2.2, suggested that the revertant phenotype resulted from the disruption of a transformation effector gene by the integration of the pMEX-neo plasmid. Genomic sequences flanking the plasmid integration site were cloned and used as probes in Northern blot analyses. A probe derived from sequences 5' to the integration site hybridized to a unique 1.2-kilobase mRNA and was used to isolate a 0.9-kilobase cDNA clone (fte-1). The open reading frame of the fte-1 cDNA predicts a highly basic protein that shows a remarkable level of similarity with two genes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. One of these yeast genes contains an unidentified open reading frame and the other, MFT1, is a gene isolated from a yeast mutant that fails to import a fusion protein into mitochondria [Garrett, J. M., Singh, K. K., Vonder Haar, R. A. & Emr, S. D. (1991) Mol. Gen. Genet. 225, 483-491]. Expression of the fte-1 gene was induced approximately 5-fold in v-fos-transformed fibroblasts, but expression was reduced in clone R2.2 and in several independent revertant clones. Transfection of R2.2 cells with fte-1 expression vectors resulted in the reacquisition of a transformed phenotype. These results demonstrate that the mammalian homologue of a gene implicated in protein import into yeast mitochondria is a v-fos transformation effector gene.
