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

Yeast chitin synthase III (CSIII) is targeted to the bud neck, where it is thought to be tethered by the septin-associated protein Bni4. Bni4 also associates with the yeast protein phosphatase (PP1) catalytic subunit, Glc7. To identify regions of Bni4 necessary for its targeting functions, we created a collection of 23 deletion mutants throughout the length of Bni4. Among the deletion variants that retain the ability to associate with the bud neck, only those deficient in Glc7 binding fail to target CSIII to the neck. A chimeric protein composed of the septin Cdc10 and the C-terminal Glc7-binding domain of Bni4 complements the defects of a bni4Delta mutant, indicating that the C-terminus of Bni4 is necessary and sufficient to target Glc7 and CSIII to the bud neck. A Cdc10-Glc7 chimera fails to target CSIII to the bud neck but is functional in the presence of the C-terminal Glc7-binding domain of Bni4. The conserved C-terminal PP1-binding domain of mammalian Phactr-1 can functionally substitute for the C-terminus of Bni4. These results suggest that the essential role of Bni4 is to target Glc7 to the neck and activate it toward substrates necessary for CSIII recruitment and synthesis of chitin at the bud neck.
