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

Dysfunctional telomere length regulation is detrimental to human health, and both activation and inhibition of telomerase have been proposed in potential therapies to treat human diseases. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pif1 protein is an evolutionarily conserved helicase that inhibits telomerase activity at DNA ends. Recent studies have indicated that Pif1 is specifically important for inhibiting telomerase at DNA ends with very little or no telomeric sequence and at long telomeres. At the former, Pif1 prevents the inappropriate addition of a telomere at DNA double-strand breaks. For the latter, Pif1 has been shown to bind long telomeres to presumably promote the extension of the short ones. These observations leave the impression that Pif1 does not act at DNA ends with telomeric sequence of intermediate length. Here, we provide in vivo evidence that Pif1 inhibits telomerase activity at DNA ends regardless of telomere sequence length.
