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

The α-factor receptor Ste2p is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed on the surface of MATa haploid cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Binding of α-factor to Ste2p results in activation of a heterotrimeric G protein and of the pheromone response pathway. Functional interactions between α-factor receptors, such as dominant-negative effects and recessive behavior of constitutive and hypersensitive mutant receptors, have been reported previously. We show here that dominant-negative effects of mutant receptors persist over a wide range of ratios of the abundances of G protein to receptor and that such effects are not blocked by covalent fusion of G protein α subunits to normal receptors. In addition, we detected dominant effects of mutant C-terminally truncated receptors, which had not been previously reported to act in a dominant manner. Furthermore, coexpression of C-terminally truncated receptors with constitutively active mutant receptors results in enhancement of constitutive signaling. Together with previous evidence for oligomerization of Ste2p receptors, these results are consistent with the idea that functional interactions between coexpressed receptors arise from physical interactions between them rather than from competition for limiting downstream components, such as G proteins.
