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

The inhibitor of galactose catabolic (GAL) gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Gal80p, interacts with the activator Gal4p and the signal transducer Gal3p and self-associates. Selection for loss of Gal80p inhibitor function yielded gal80 mutants at an extremely high rate. Out of these, 21 nonoverlapping point mutants were identified; each were due to a single-amino-acid exchange in conserved residues. Semiquantitative biochemical analysis of the corresponding mutant proteins revealed that each of the 21 amino acid alterations caused simultaneous defects in every single protein-protein interaction and in Gal80's structural integrity. Thus, Gal80 provides an unprecedented example for a protein's structural sensitivity to minimal sequence alterations.
