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

Nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR)-sensitive genes, whose expression is highly repressed when provided with excess nitrogen and derepressed when nitrogen is limited or cells are treated with rapamycin, are routinely used as reporters in mechanistic studies of the Tor signal transduction pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two GATA factors, Gln3 and Gat1, are responsible for NCR-sensitive transcription, but recent evidence demonstrates that Tor pathway regulation of NCR-sensitive transcription bifurcates at the level of GATA factor localization. Gln3 requires Sit4 phosphatase for nuclear localization and NCR-sensitive transcription while Gat1 does not. In this article, we demonstrate that the extent to which Sit4 plays a role in NCR-sensitive transcription depends upon whether or not (i) Gzf3, a GATA repressor homologous to Dal80, is active in the genetic background assayed; (ii) Gat1 is able to activate transcription of the assayed gene in the absence of Gln3 in that genetic background; and (iii) the gene chosen as a reporter is able to be transcribed by Gln3 or Gat1 in the absence of the other GATA factor. Together, the data indicate that in the absence of these three pieces of information, overall NCR-sensitive gene transcription data are unreliable as Tor pathway readouts.
