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

In fission yeast, calcineurin dephosphorylates and activates the Prz1 transcription factor. Here, we identified the calcineurin-dependent response element (CDRE) in the promoter region of prz1(+) gene and monitored the calcineurin activity in living cells using a destabilized luciferase reporter gene fused to three tandem repeats of CDRE. Elevated extracellular CaCl(2) caused an increase in calcineurin activity with an initial peak and then approached a sustained constant level in a concentration-dependent manner. In CaCl(2)-sensitive mutants such as Deltapmc1, the response was markedly enhanced, reflecting its high intracellular Ca(2+). Agents expected to induce Ca(2+) influx showed distinct patterns of the CDRE-reporter activity, suggesting different mechanisms of calcineurin activation. Knockout of yam8(+) or cch1(+) encoding putative subunits of a Ca(2+) channel abolished the activation of calcineurin upon exposure to various stimuli, including high extracellular NaCl and cell wall-damaging agents. However, knockout of yam8(+) or cch1(+) did not affect the activation of calcineurin upon stimulation by elevated extracellular Ca(2+). The Pck2 protein kinase C-Pmk1 mitogen-activate protein kinase pathway was required for the stimulation of calcineurin via Yam8/Cch1-mediated Ca(2+) influx, but it was not required for the stimulation by elevated extracellular Ca(2+), suggesting two distinct pathways for calcineurin activation.
