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 spindle pole body (SPB) of Schizosaccharomyces pombe is required for assembly of the forespore membrane (FSM) during meiosis. Before de novo biogenesis of the FSM, the meiotic SPB forms outer plaques, an event referred to as SPB modification. A constitutive SPB component, Spo15, plays an indispensable role in SPB modification and sporulation. Here, we analyzed two sporulation-specific genes, spo13(+) and spo2(+), which are not required for progression of meiotic nuclear divisions, but are essential for sporulation. Spo13 is a 16-kDa coiled-coil protein, and Spo2 is a 15-kDa nonconserved protein. Both Spo13 and Spo2 specifically associated with the meiotic SPB. The respective deletion mutants are viable, but defective in SPB modification and in the onset of FSM formation. Spo13 and Spo2 localized on the cytoplasmic side of the SPB in close contact with the nascent FSM. Localization of Spo13 to the SPB was dependent on Spo15 and Spo2; that of Spo2 depended only on Spo15, suggesting that their recruitment to the SPB is strictly controlled. Spo2 physically associated with both Spo15 and Spo13, but Spo13 and Spo15 did not interact directly. Taken together, these observations indicate that Spo2 is recruited to the SPB during meiosis and then assists in the localization of Spo13 to the outer surface of the SPB.
