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

Investigation into the switch between single-celled and filamentous forms of fungi may provide insights into cell polarity, differentiation, and fungal pathogenicity. At the molecular level, much of this investigation has fallen on two closely related budding yeasts, Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Recently, the much more distant fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe was shown to form invasive filaments after nitrogen limitation (E. Amoah-Buahin, N. Bone, and J. Armstrong, Eukaryot. Cell 4:1287-1297, 2005) and this genetically tractable organism provides an alternative system for the study of dimorphic growth. Here we describe a second mode of mycelial formation of S. pombe, on rich media. Screening of an S. pombe haploid deletion library identified 12 genes required for mycelial development which encode potential transcription factors, orthologues of S. cerevisiae Sec14p and Tlg2p, and the formin For3, among others. These were further grouped into two phenotypic classes representing different stages of the process. We show that galactose-dependent cell adhesion and actin assembly are both required for mycelial formation and mutants lacking a range of genes controlling cell polarity all produce mycelia but with radically altered morphology.
