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 RAG4 gene encodes for the sole transmembrane glucose sensor of Kluyveromyces lactis. A rag4 mutation leads to a fermentation-deficient phenotype (Rag- phenotype) and to a severe defect in the expression of the major glucose transporter gene RAG1. A recessive extragenic suppressor of the rag4 mutation has been identified. It encodes a protein (KlRgt1) 31% identical to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rgt1 regulator of the HXT genes (ScRgt1). The Klrgt1 null mutant displays abnormally high levels of RAG1 expression in the absence of glucose but still presents an induction of RAG1 expression in the presence of glucose. KlRgt1 is therefore only a repressor of RAG1. As described for ScRgt1, the KlRgt1 repressor function is controlled by phosphorylation in response to high glucose concentration and this phosphorylation is dependent on the sensor Rag4 and the casein kinase Rag8. However, contrary to that observed with ScRgt1, KlRgt1 is always bound to the RAG1 promoter. This article reveals that the key components of the glucose-signaling pathway are conserved between S. cerevisiae and K. lactis, but points out major differences in Rgt1 regulation and function that might reflect different carbon metabolism of these yeasts.
