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

Mrc1 (mediator of replication checkpoint), Tof1 (topoisomerase I interacting factor), and Csm3 (chromosome segregation in meiosis) are checkpoint-mediator proteins that function during DNA replication and activate the effector kinase Rad53. We reported previously that Mrc1 and Tof1 are constituents of the replication machinery and that both proteins are required for the proper arrest and stabilization of replication forks in the presence of hydroxyurea. In our current study, we show that Csm3 is a component of moving replication forks and that both Tof1 and Csm3 are specifically required for the association of Mrc1 with these structures. In contrast, the deletion of mrc1 did not affect the association of Tof1 and Csm3 with the replication fork complex. In agreement with previous observations in yeast cells, the results of a baculovirus coexpression system showed that these three proteins interact directly with each other to form a mediator complex in the absence of replication forks.
