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

We examined the localization of the Pir protein family (Pir1 to Pir4), which is covalently linked to the cell wall in an unknown manner. In contrast to the other Pir proteins, a fusion of Pir1p and monomeric red fluorescent protein distributed in clusters in pir1Delta cells throughout the period of cultivation, indicating that Pir1p is localized in bud scars. Further microscopic analysis revealed that Pir1p is expressed inside the chitin rings of the bud scars. Stepwise deletion of the eight units of the repetitive sequence of Pir1p revealed that one unit is enough for the protein to bind bud scars and that the extent of binding of Pir1p to the cell wall depends on the number of these repetitive units. The localization of a chimeric Pir1p in which the repetitive sequence of Pir1p was replaced with that of Pir4p revealed the functional role of the different protein regions, specifically, that the repetitive sequence is required for binding to the cell wall and that the C-terminal sequence is needed for recruitment to bud scars. This is the first report that bud scars contain proteins like Pir1p as internal components.
