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

The evolution of eukaryotic organisms starting with the last eukaryotic common ancestor was accompanied by lineage-specific expansion of gene families. A paper by Garge et al. provides an excellent opportunity to have students explore how expansion of gene families via gene duplication results in protein specialization, in this case in the context of eukaryotic cytoskeletal organization . The authors tested hypotheses about conserved protein function by systematic "humanization" of the yeast cytoskeletal components while employing a wide variety of methodological approaches. We outline several exercises to promote students' ability to explore the genomic databases, perform bioinformatic analyses, design experiments for functional analysis of human genes in yeast and critically interpret results to address both specific and general questions.
