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

Here, we focus on synthetic lethal genetic interactions, examples of genetic enhancements, where mutations in two different genes result in lethality but only when present together. We recently identified the synthetic lethal network around the PKC1 gene encoding the essential protein kinase C of yeast. We found that this network is heavily enriched for interactions with genes whose products are closely linked to Pkc1 signaling in vivo. Here, we show that: the PKC1 gene elicits a distinct spectrum of genetic interactions to SLT2, encoding a non-essential component of the very same signaling pathway. We also show that the terminal phenotype underlying the synthetic lethal network around PKC1 is not uniform. Synthetic lethal genetic networks thus appear to be very heterogeneous in nature with important implications for what functional relationships can be discovered from them.
