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

Auxotrophic mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are usually isolated in haploid strains because the isolation of recessive mutations in diploids is thought to be difficult due to the presence of two sets of genes. We show here that auxotrophic mutants of diploid industrial sake yeast strains were routinely obtained by a standard mutant selection procedure following UV mutagenesis. We isolated His(-), Met(-), Lys(-), Trp(-), Leu(-), Arg(-), and Ura(-) auxotrophic mutants of five sake strains, Kyokai no. 7, no. 9, no. 10, no. 701, and no. 901, by screening only 1,700 to 3,400 colonies from each treated strain. Wild-type alleles were cloned and used as markers for transformation. With HIS3 as a selectable marker, the yeast TDH3 overexpression promoter was inserted upstream of ATF1, encoding alcohol acetyltransferase, by one-step gene replacement in a his3 mutant of Kyokai no. 7. The resulting strain contained exclusively yeast DNA, making it acceptable for commercial use, and produced a larger amount of isoamyl acetate, a banana-like flavor. We argue that the generally recognized difficulty of isolating auxotrophic mutants of diploid industrial yeast strains is misleading and that genetic techniques used for haploid laboratory strains are applicable for this purpose.
