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

To maintain genome stability, organisms depend on faithful chromosome segregation, a process affected by diverse genetic pathways, some of which are not directly linked to mitosis. In this study, we set out to explore one such pathway represented by an undercharacterized gene, SNO1, identified previously in screens of the yeast knockout (YKO) library for mitotic fidelity genes. We found that the causative factor increasing mitotic error rate in the sno1Δ mutant is not loss of the Sno1 protein, but rather perturbation to the mRNA of the neighboring convergent gene, CTF13, encoding an essential component for forming the yeast kinetochore. This is caused by a combination of the Kanamycin resistance gene and the transcriptional terminator used in the YKO library affecting the CTF13 mRNA level and quality . We further provide a list of gene pairs potentially subjected to this artifact, which may be useful for accurate phenotypic interpretation of YKO mutants.
