Modulation of the complex regulatory network for methionine biosynthesis in fungi.
Article in Genetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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.
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
The assimilation of inorganic sulfate and the synthesis of the sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine is mediated by a multibranched biosynthetic pathway. We have investigated this circuitry in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans, which is phylogenetically intermediate between the filamentous fungi and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In S. cerevisiae, this pathway is regulated by a collection of five transcription factors (Met4, Cbf1, Met28, and Met31/Met32), while in the filamentous fungi the pathway is controlled by a single Met4-like factor. We found that in C. albicans, the Met4 ortholog is also a core regulator of methionine biosynthesis, where it functions together with Cbf1. While C. albicans encodes this Met4 protein, a Met4 paralog designated Met28 (Orf19.7046), and a Met31 protein, deletion, and activation constructs suggest that of these proteins only Met4 is actually involved in the regulation of methionine biosynthesis. Both Met28 and Met31 are linked to other functions; Met28 appears essential, and Met32 appears implicated in the regulation of genes of central metabolism. Therefore, while S. cerevisiae and C. albicans share Cbf1 and Met4 as central elements of the methionine biosynthesis control, the other proteins that make up the circuit in S. cerevisiae are not members of the C. albicans control network, and so the S. cerevisiae circuit likely represents a recently evolved arrangement.
