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

Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for all domains of life. Cells maintain zinc homeostasis using a network of transporters, buffers, and transcription factors. Zinc is required for mammalian cell proliferation, and zinc homeostasis is remodeled during the cell cycle, but whether labile zinc changes in naturally cycling cells has not been established. We use genetically encoded fluorescent reporters, long-term time-lapse imaging, and computational tools to track labile zinc over the cell cycle in response to changes in growth media zinc and knockdown of the zinc-regulatory transcription factor MTF-1. Cells experience a pulse of labile zinc in early G1, whose magnitude varies with zinc in growth media. Knockdown of MTF-1 increases labile zinc and the zinc pulse. Our results suggest that cells need a minimum zinc pulse to proliferate and that if labile zinc levels are too high, cells pause proliferation until labile cellular zinc is lowered.
