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

Molecular genetic analyses in Schizosaccharomyces pombe rely on selectable markers that are used in cloning vectors or to mark targeted gene deletions and other integrated constructs. In this study, we used genetic mapping data and genomic sequence information to predict the identity of the S. pombe lys2(+) gene, which is homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae LYS4(+). We confirmed this prediction, showing that the cloned SPAC343.16 gene can complement a lys2-97 mutant allele, and constructed the lys2(+)-based cloning vector pRH3. In addition, we deleted the S. pombe his7(+) gene with a lys2(+) -marked polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product and the S. pombe lys2(+) gene with a his7(+)-marked PCR product. Strains carrying these deletions of lys2(+) or his7(+) serve as relatively efficient hosts for the deletion of the ade6(+) gene by lys2(+)-- or his7(+)--marked PCR products when compared with hosts carrying lys2 or his7 point mutations. Therefore, these studies provide plasmids and strains allowing the use of lys2(+) as a selectable marker, along with improved strains for the use of his7(+) to mark gene deletions.
