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

To learn about the cellular processes involved in Mg(2+) homeostasis and the mechanisms allowing cells to cope with low Mg(2+) availability, we performed RNA expression-profiling experiments and followed changes in gene activity upon Mg(2+) depletion on a genome-wide scale. A striking portion of genes up-regulated under Mg(2+) depletion are also induced by high Ca(2+) and/or alkalinization. Among the genes significantly up-regulated by Mg(2+) starvation, Ca(2+) stress, and alkalinization are ENA1 (encoding a P-type ATPase sodium pump) and PHO89 (encoding a sodium/phosphate cotransporter). We show that up-regulation of these genes is dependent on the calcineurin/Crz1p (calcineurin-responsive zinc finger protein) signaling pathway. Similarly to Ca(2+) stress, Mg(2+) starvation induces translocation of the transcription factor Crz1p from the cytoplasm into the nucleus. The up-regulation of ENA1 and PHO89 upon Mg(2+) starvation depends on extracellular Ca(2+). Using fluorescence resonance energy transfer microscopy, we demonstrate that removal of Mg(2+) results in an immediate increase in free cytoplasmic Ca(2+). This effect is dependent on external Ca(2+). The results presented indicate that Mg(2+) depletion in yeast cells leads to enhanced cellular Ca(2+) concentrations, which activate the Crz1p/calcineurin pathway. We provide evidence that calcineurin/Crz1p signaling is crucial for yeast cells to cope with Mg(2+) depletion stress.
