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 main mediators for the amino acid uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are the permeases belonging to the yeast amino acid transporter family. Recently, we discovered that members of this family support growth on more amino acids than previously described. Here we study the substrate spectrum of Lyp1, the main transporter responsible for the uptake of lysine in yeast. We show that overexpressed Lyp1 supports growth on alanine, asparagine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, serine, and valine when these are provided as the sole source of nitrogen to a strain severely deficient for the uptake of amino acids. We show that alanine and serine compete with lysine for the common transport system, albeit with much lower affinity. Thus, Lyp1 has a much broader substrate spectrum than previously thought, which may be true for many amino acid transporters.
