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

An immediate challenge in the post-genomic era is to assign a biological functions to proteins unraveled by genome analysis. This report is based on studies conducted using Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a simple model organism, and presents various vector systems as tools for high-throughput functional analysis of human genes. We constructed S. pombe expression vectors for efficient cloning of genes via the Gateway system. We modified the pREP and pSLF series vectors, which are widely used for gene expression in S. pombe. The vectors constructed have a uniform backbone of S. pombe autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) elements with different selective markers, namely, urw4 (+) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae LEU2 complementing leul. These vectors contain 3 different strengths of the inducible promoter nmtl, which affect the expression levels of the cloned open reading frames (ORFs). Further, target proteins can be fused with an N-terminal or C-terminal tag such as triple hemagglutinin (3x HA), enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), or Discosoma red fluorescent protein (DsRed). We tested the feasibility of the constructed vectors by using 3 human genes, namely, RAB18, SCC-112, and PTEN. Proper expression of tagged RAB18 was confirmed by western blot analysis. Further, localization of RAB18, SCC112, and PTEN was demonstrated. The constructed vectors can be utilized for high-throughput functional analysis of heterologous genes.
