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

Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs) are major contributors to the decision to enter or exit the cell cycle. The Caenorhabditis elegans genome encodes two CKIs belonging to the Cip/Kip family, cki-1 and cki-2. cki-1 has been shown to act as a canonical negative regulator of cell cycle entry, while the role of cki-2 remains unclear. We identified cki-2 in a genome-wide RNAi screen to reveal genes essential for developmental cell cycle quiescence. Examination of cki-2 knockout animals revealed extra rounds of cell divisions, verifying a role in establishing or maintaining the temporary cell cycle arrest. Despite the overlapping defects, the pathways mediated by cki-1 and cki-2 are discrete since the extra cell phenotype conferred by a putative cki-2(null) mutation is enhanced upon additional loss of cki-1 activity. Moreover, the extra cell division defect of cki-2 is not increased with the additional loss of lin-35 Rb, as is seen with cki-1. Thus, both cki-1 and cki-2 mediate cell cycle quiescence, but our genetic and phenotypic analyses demonstrate that they act within distinct pathways to exert control over the cell cycle machinery.
