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

The mechanism of action of 6AU, a growth inhibitor for many microorganisms causing depletion of intracellular nucleotide pools of GTP and UTP, is not well understood. To gain insight into the mechanisms leading to 6AU resistance, and in an attempt to uncover novel genes required for this resistance, we undertook a high-copy-number suppressor screening to identify genes whose overexpression could repair the 6AU(S) growth defect caused by rpb1 mutations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have identified SNG1 as a multicopy suppressor of the 6AU(S) growth defect caused by the S. cerevisiae rpb1 mutant. The mechanism by which Sng1 causes 6AU resistance is independent of the transcriptional elongation and of the nucleotide-pool regulation through Imd2 and Ura2, as well as of the Ssm1-mediated 6AU detoxification. This resistance to 6AU is not extended to other uracil analogues, such as 5-fluorouracil, 5FU. In addition, our results suggest that 6AU enters S. cerevisiae cells through the uracil permease Fur4. Our results demonstrate that Sng1 is localised in the plasma membrane and evidence SNG1 and FUR4 genes as determinants of resistance and susceptibility to this inhibitory compound, respectively. Taken together, these results show new mechanisms involved in the resistance and susceptibility to 6AU.
