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

During sporulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, vesicles transported to the vicinity of spindle pole bodies are fused to each other to generate bilayered prospore membranes (PSMs). PSMs encapsulate the haploid nuclei that arise from the meiotic divisions and serve as platforms for spore wall deposition. Membrane trafficking plays an important role in supplying vesicles for these processes. The endocytosis-deficient mutant, end3Delta, sporulated poorly and the spores produced lost resistance to ether vapor, suggesting that END3-mediated endocytosis is important for sporulation. End3p-GFP localized to cell and spore peripheries in vegetative and sporulating cells and colocalized with actin structures. Correspondingly, the actin cytoskeleton appeared aberrant during sporulation in end3Delta. Analysis of meiosis in end3Delta mutants revealed that the meiotic divisions occurred with wild-type kinetics. Furthermore, PSMs were assembled normally. However, the levels of proteins required for spore wall synthesis and components of the spore wall layers at spores were reduced, indicating that end3Delta mutants are defective in spore wall synthesis. Thus, END3-mediated endocytosis is important for spore wall formation. Additionally, cytological analyses suggest that trafficking between the plasma membrane and PSMs is important earlier during sporulation.
