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

Protein serine/threonine phosphatase type 1 (PP1) has been found in all eukaryotes examined to date and is involved in the regulation of many cellular functions, including glycogen metabolism, muscle contraction, and mitosis. In Drosophila, four genes code for the catalytic subunit of PP1 (PP1c), three of which belong to the PP1 alpha subtype. PP1 beta 9C (flapwing) encodes the fourth PP1c gene and has a specific and nonredundant function as a nonmuscle myosin phosphatase. PP1 alpha 87B is the major form and contributes approximately 80% of the total PP1 activity. We describe the first mutant alleles of PP1 alpha 96A and show that PP1 alpha 96A is not an essential gene, but seems to have a function in the regulation of nonmuscle myosin. We show that overexpression of the PP1 alpha isozymes does not rescue semilethal PP1 beta 9C mutants, whereas overexpression of either PP1 alpha 96A or PP1 beta 9C does rescue a lethal PP1 alpha 87B mutant combination, showing that the lethality is due to a quantitative reduction in the level of PP1c. Overexpression of PP1 beta 9C does not rescue a PP1 alpha 87B, PP1 alpha 96A double mutant, suggesting an essential PP1 alpha-specific function in Drosophila.
