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

The use of new transgenic yeasts in industry carries a potential environmental risk because their dispersal, introducing new artificial genetic combinations into nature, could have unpredictable consequences. This risk could be avoided by using sterile transgenic yeasts that are unable to sporulate and mate with wild yeasts. These sterile yeasts would not survive the annual cyclic harvesting periods, being condemned to disappear in the wineries and vineyards in less than a year. We have constructed new ime1Delta wine yeasts that are unable to sporulate and mate, bear easy-to-detect genetic markers, and quickly disappear in grape must fermentation immediately after sporulation of the yeast population. These sterile yeasts maintained the same biotechnological properties as their parent yeasts without any detectable deleterious effect of the ime1Delta mutation. These yeasts are therefore interesting biotechnologically for food industry applications and for genetically modified microorganism environmental monitoring studies.
