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

In the era of synthetic biology, design, construction, and utilization of synthetic chromosomes with unique features provide a strategy to study complex cellular processes such as aging. Herein, we successfully construct the 884 Kb synXIII of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to investigate replicative aging using these synthetic strains. We verify that up-regulation of a rRNA-related transcriptional factor, RRN9, positively influence replicative lifespan. Using SCRaMbLE system that enables inducible whole-genome rearrangement on synXIII, we obtain 20 SCRaMbLEd synXIII strains with extended lifespan. Transcriptome analysis reveal the expression of genes involve in global protein synthesis is up-regulated in longer-lived strains. We establish causal links between genotypic change and the long-lived phenotype via reconstruction of some key structural variations observed in post-SCRaMbLE strains and further demonstrate combinatorial effects of multiple aging regulators on lifespan extension. Our findings underscore the potential of synthetic yeasts in unveiling the function of aging-related genes.
