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

Cdc42p plays a central role in asymmetric cell growth in yeast by controlling actin organization and vesicular trafficking. However, how Cdc42p is maintained specifically at the daughter cell plasma membrane during asymmetric cell growth is unclear. We have analyzed Cdc42p localization in yeast mutants defective in various stages of membrane trafficking by fluorescence microscopy and biochemical fractionation. We found that two separate exocytic pathways mediate Cdc42p delivery to the daughter cell. Defects in one of these pathways result in Cdc42p being rerouted through the other. In particular, the pathway involving trafficking through endosomes may couple Cdc42p endocytosis from, and subsequent redelivery to, the plasma membrane to maintain Cdc42p polarization at the daughter cell. Although the endo-exocytotic coupling is necessary for Cdc42p polarization, it is not sufficient to prevent the lateral diffusion of Cdc42p along the cell cortex. A barrier function conferred by septins is required to counteract the dispersal of Cdc42p and maintain its localization in the daughter cell but has no effect on the initial polarization of Cdc42p at the presumptive budding site before symmetry breaking. Collectively, membrane trafficking and septins function synergistically to maintain the dynamic polarization of Cdc42p during asymmetric growth in yeast.
