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

A null mutation in the SPE2 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, encoding S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase, results in cells with no detectable S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase, spermidine, and spermine. This mutant has an absolute requirement for spermidine or spermine for growth; this requirement is not satisfied by putrescine. Polyamine-depleted cells show a number of microscopic abnormalities that are similar to those reported for several cell division cycle (cdc) and actin mutants. These include a striking increase in cell size, a marked decrease in budding, accumulation of vesicle-like bodies, absence of specific localization of chitin-like material, and abnormal distribution of actin-like material. The absolute requirement for polyamines for growth and the microscopic abnormalities are not seen if the cultures are grown under anaerobic conditions.
