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

Ume6p represses early meiotic gene transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by recruiting the Rpd3p histone deacetylase and chromatin-remodeling proteins. Ume6p repression is relieved in a two-step destruction process mediated by the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) ubiquitin ligase. The first step induces partial Ume6p degradation when vegetative cells shift from glucose- to acetate-based medium. Complete proteolysis happens only upon meiotic entry. Here we demonstrate that the first step in Ume6p destruction is controlled by its acetylation and deacetylation by the Gcn5p acetyltransferase and Rpd3p, respectively. Ume6p acetylation occurs in medium lacking dextrose and results in a partial destruction of the repressor. Preventing acetylation delays Ume6p meiotic destruction and retards both the transient transcription program and execution of the meiotic nuclear divisions. Conversely, mimicking acetylation induces partial destruction of Ume6p in dextrose medium and accelerates meiotic degradation by the APC/C. These studies reveal a new mechanism by which acetyltransferase activity induces gene expression through targeted destruction of a transcriptional repressor. These findings also demonstrate an important role for nonhistone acetylation in the transition between mitotic and meiotic cell division.
