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

Fungal growth depends on active transport of macromolecules along the actin and/or microtubule cytoskeleton. Thereby, molecular cargo such as proteins, lipids, and mRNAs is targeted to defined subcellular regions. Active transport and localisation of mRNAs mediate localised translation so that protein synthesis occurs where protein function is required. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, actomyosin-dependent mRNA trafficking participates in polar growth, asymmetric cell division, targeting of membrane proteins and import of mitochondrial proteins. The best-understood example is transport of ASH1 mRNA to the distal pole of the incipient daughter cell. cis-acting RNA sequences are recognised by the RNA-binding protein She2p that is connected via the adaptor She3p to the molecular motor Myo4p. Local translation at the poles of daughter cells causes Ash1p to accumulate predominantly in nuclei of daughter cells, where this transcription factor inhibits mating-type switching. Recently, it was also shown that actomyosin-dependent ASH1 mRNA transport directs tip cell-specific gene expression in filaments of the human pathogen Candida albicans. Furthermore, in the plant pathogen Ustilago maydis microtubule-dependent shuttling of the RNA-binding protein Rrm4 is essential to determine the axis of polarity in infectious filaments. Thus, mRNA trafficking appears to be universally required for polar growth of fungi.
