Live-cell analysis of IMPDH protein levels during yeast colony growth provides insights into the regulation of GTP synthesis.
Article in mBio, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 purine nucleotides ATP and GTP are made from the common precursor inosine monophosphate (IMP). Maintaining the correct balance of these nucleotides for optimal cell growth is controlled in part by the enzyme IMP dehydrogenase (IMPDH), which catalyzes the first dedicated step of GTP biosynthesis. The regulation of IMPDH mRNA and protein levels in the yeast IMPORTANCE: This study used live-cell microscopy to track changes in the level of a key enzyme in GTP nucleotide biosynthesis, inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), during growth of a brewers yeast colony over 2 days in a microfluidic device. The results show that feedback regulation via transcription attenuation allows cells to adapt to nutrient limitation in the crowded environs of a yeast colony. They also identify a novel mode of regulation of IMPDH level that is not driven by guanine nucleotide availability.
