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

Prions are infectious proteins that self-propagate by changing from their normal folded conformation to a misfolded conformation. The misfolded conformation, which is typically rich in β-sheet, serves as a template to convert the prion protein into its misfolded conformation. In yeast, the misfolded prion proteins are assembled into amyloid fibers or seeds, which are constantly severed and transmitted to daughter cells. To cure prions in yeast, it is necessary to eliminate all the prion seeds. Multiple mechanisms of curing have been found including inhibiting severing of the prion seeds, gradual dissolution of the prion seeds, asymmetric segregation of the prion seeds between mother and daughter cells during cell division, and degradation of the prion seeds. These mechanisms, achieved by using different protein quality control machinery, are not mutually exclusive; depending on conditions, multiple mechanisms may work simultaneously to achieve curing. This review discusses the various methods that have been used to differentiate between these mechanisms of curing.
