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

Chromosomal genes modulate Ty retrotransposon movement in the genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have screened a collection of 4739 deletion mutants to identify those that increase Ty1 mobility (Ty1 restriction genes). Among the 91 identified mutants, 80% encode products involved in nuclear processes such as chromatin structure and function, DNA repair and recombination, and transcription. However, bioinformatic analyses encompassing additional Ty1 and Ty3 screens indicate that 264 unique genes involved in a variety of biological processes affect Ty mobility in yeast. Further characterization of 33 of the mutants identified here show that Ty1 RNA levels increase in 5 mutants and the rest affect mobility post-transcriptionally. RNA and cDNA levels remain unchanged in mutants defective in transcription elongation, including ckb2Delta and elf1Delta, suggesting that Ty1 integration may be more efficient in these strains. Insertion-site preference at the CAN1 locus requires Ty1 restriction genes involved in histone H2B ubiquitination by Paf complex subunit genes, as well as BRE1 and RAD6, histone H3 acetylation by RTT109 and ASF1, and transcription elongation by SPT5. Our results indicate that multiple pathways restrict Ty1 mobility and histone modifications may protect coding regions from insertional mutagenesis.
