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

Budding yeast Cdc13-Stn1-Ten1 (CST) complex plays an essential role in telomere protection and maintenance. Despite extensive studies, only structural information of individual domains of CST is available; the architecture of CST still remains unclear. Here, we report crystal structures of Kluyveromyces lactis Cdc13-telomeric-DNA, Cdc13-Stn1 and Stn1-Ten1 complexes and propose an integrated model depicting how CST assembles and plays its roles at telomeres. Surprisingly, two oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB) folds of Cdc13 (OB2 and OB4), previously believed to mediate Cdc13 homodimerization, actually form a stable intramolecular interaction. This OB2-OB4 module of Cdc13 is required for the Cdc13-Stn1 interaction that assembles CST into an architecture with a central ring-like core and multiple peripheral modules in a 2:2:2 stoichiometry. Functional analyses indicate that this unique CST architecture is essential for both telomere capping and homeostasis regulation. Overall, our results provide fundamentally valuable structural information regarding the CST complex and its roles in telomere biology.
