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

Cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are known to acquire thermotolerance in response to the stresses of starvation or heat shock. We show here through the use of cell cycle inhibitors that blockage of yeast cells in the G1, S, or G2 phases of the mitotic cell cycle is not a stress that induces thermotolerance; arrested cells remained as sensitive to thermal killing as proliferating cells. These G1- or S-phase-arrested cells were unimpaired in the acquisition of thermotolerance when subjected to a mild heat shock by incubation at 37 degrees C. One cell cycle inhibitor, o-phenanthroline, did in fact cause cells to become thermotolerant but without induction of the characteristic pattern of heat shock proteins. Thermal induction of heat shock protein synthesis was unaffected; the o-phenanthroline-treated cells could still synthesize heat shock proteins upon transfer to 37 degrees C. Use of a novel mutant conditionally defective only for the resumption of proliferation from stationary phase (M. A. Drebot, G. C. Johnston, and R. A. Singer, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:7948-7952, 1987) indicated that o-phenanthroline inhibition produces a stationary-phase arrest, a finding which is consistent with the increased thermotolerance and regulated cessation of proliferation exhibited by the inhibited cells. These findings show that the acquired thermotolerance of cells is unrelated to blockage of the mitotic cell cycle or to the rapid synthesis of the characteristic spectrum of heat shock proteins.
