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

Parallel high-throughput automated assays are described for the measurement of cell growth and β-galactosidase reporter gene expression from a single culture of the yeast S. cerevisiae. The dual assay measures the effect of test compounds on expression of a specific gene of interest linked to the β-galactosidase reporter gene, and simultaneously tests for compound toxicity and other effects on cell growth. Examples of assay development and validation results are used to illustrate how this protocol may be used to screen two yeast cell lines in parallel. Yeast cells are grown overnight in V-bottom polypropylene 384-well plates, after which portions of the cell suspension are transferred to clear and to white flat-bottom 384-well plates for measurement of cell growth and reporter gene expression, respectively. Cell growth is determined by measurement of absorbance at 595 nm, and β-galactosidase expression is quantified by Beta-Glo, a commercially available luminescent β-galactosidase substrate. Curr.
