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 Saccharomyces cerevisiae UGA4 gene encodes a permease capable of importing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) into the cell. GABA-dependent induction of this permease requires at least two positive-acting proteins, the specific factor Uga3 and the pleiotropic factor Uga35/Dal81. UGA4 is subjected to a very complex regulation, and its induction is affected by the presence of extracellular amino acids; this effect is mediated by the plasma membrane amino acid sensor SPS. Our results show that leucine affects UGA4 induction and that the SPS sensor and the downstream effectors Stp1 and Stp2 participate in this regulation. Moreover, we found that the Uga3 and Uga35/Dal81 transcription factors bind to the UGA4 promoter in a GABA-dependent manner and that this binding is impaired by the presence of leucine. We also found that the Leu3 transcription factor negatively regulates UGA4 transcription, although this seems to be through an indirect mechanism.
