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

In fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a diploid mother cell differentiates into an ascus containing four haploid ascospores following meiotic nuclear divisions, through a process called sporulation. Several meiosis-specific proteins of fission yeast have been identified to play essential roles in meiotic progression and sporulation. We report here an unexpected function of mitotic spindle checkpoint protein Dma1 in proper spore formation. Consistent with its function in sporulation, expression of dma1(+) is up-regulated during meiosis I and II. We showed that Dma1 localizes to the SPB during meiosis and the maintenance of this localization at meiosis II depends on septation initiation network (SIN) scaffold proteins Sid4 and Cdc11. Cells lacking Dma1 display defects associated with sporulation but not nuclear division, leading frequently to formation of asci with fewer spores. Our genetic analyses support the notion that Dma1 functions in parallel with the meiosis-specific Sid2-related protein kinase Slk1/Mug27 and the SIN signaling during sporulation, possibly through regulating proper forespore membrane assembly. Our studies therefore revealed a novel function of Dma1 in regulating sporulation in fission yeast.
