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

Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown on plastic surfaces formed organized structures, termed minicolonies, that consisted of a core of round (yeast-like) cells surrounded by chains of filamentous cells (pseudohyphae). Minicolonies had a much higher affinity for plastic than unstructured yeast communities growing on the same surface. Pseudohyphae at the surface of these colonies developed further into chains of asci. These structures suggest that pseudohyphal differentiation and sporulation are sequential processes in minicolonies. Consistent with this idea, minicolonies grown under conditions that stimulated pseudohyphal differentiation contained higher frequencies of asci. Furthermore, a flo11Δ mutant, which fails to form pseudohyphae, yielded normal sporulation in cultures, but was defective for minicolony sporulation. When minicolonies were dispersed in water and cells were then allowed to settle on the plastic surface, these cells sporulated very efficiently. Taken together, our results suggest that sporulation in minicolonies is stimulated by pseudohyphal differentiation because these pseudohyphae are dispersed from the core of the colony.
