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

Sirtuins are a family of deacetylases (Class III histone deacetylases) with evolutionarily conserved functions in cellular metabolism and chromatin regulation. Out of the seven human Sirtuins, the function of Sirt2 is the least understood. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of Sir2A, a homolog of human Sirt2 in Dictyostelium discoideum (Dd), a lower eukaryote. We created both overexpressing and deletion strains of Ddsir2A to analyse its functions. We observed sir2A mRNA expression throughout development and the transcript was present in the prespore/spore region of multicellular structures developed. They show a preference towards prestalk/stalk pathway when co-developed with wildtype cells during chimera formation. Deletion strain showed a multi-tipped phenotype, decrease in cell proliferation and inhibition of autophagy. In conclusion, our results show low cAMP levels, reduced cell-adhesion, weak cell migration and impaired autophagy to be responsible for the phenotype shown by the null cells. This study provides new insights into the functions of Ddsir2A.
