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

S-adenosylmethionine is an important compound, because it serves as the methyl donor in most methyl transfer reactions, including methylation of proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. However, cellular defects in the genetic disruption of S-adenosylmethionine synthesis are not well understood. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of temperature-sensitive mutants of fission yeast S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (Sam1). Levels of S-adenosylmethionine and methylated histone H3 were greatly diminished in sam1 mutants. sam1 mutants stopped proliferating in vegetative culture and arrested specifically in G2 phase without cell elongation. Furthermore, sam1 mutants lost viability during nitrogen starvation-induced G0 phase quiescence. After release from the G0 state, sam1 mutants could neither increase in cell size nor re-initiate DNA replication in the rich medium. Sam1 is thus required for cell growth and proliferation, and maintenance of and exit from quiescence. sam1 mutants lead to broad cellular and drug response defects, as expected, since S. pombe contains more than 90 S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferases.
