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

backgroundThe yeast AMPK/SNF1 pathway is best known for its role in glucose de/repression. When glucose becomes limited, the Snf1 kinase is activated and phosphorylates the transcriptional repressor Mig1, which is then exported from the nucleus. The exact mechanism how the Snf1-Mig1 pathway is regulated is not entirely elucidated.

resultsGlucose uptake through the low affinity transporter Hxt1 results in nuclear accumulation of Mig1 in response to all glucose concentrations upshift, however with increasing glucose concentration the nuclear localization of Mig1 is more intense. Strains expressing Hxt7 display a constant response to all glucose concentration upshifts. We show that differences in amount of hexose transporter molecules in the cell could cause cell-to-cell variability in the Mig1-Snf1 system. We further apply mathematical modelling to our data, both general deterministic and a nonlinear mixed effect model. Our model suggests a presently unrecognized regulatory step of the Snf1-Mig1 pathway at the level of Mig1 dephosphorylation. Model predictions point to parameters involved in the transport of Mig1 in and out of the nucleus as a majorsource of cell to cell variability.

conclusionsWith this modelling approach we have been able to suggest steps that contribute to the cell-to-cell variability. Our data indicate a close link between the glucose uptake rate, which determines the glycolytic rate, and the activity of the Snf1/Mig1 system. This study hence establishes a close relation between metabolism and signalling.
