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 transcription factor Fhl1, which binds to the promoters of the ribosomal protein genes (RPGs) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, promotes transcription by recruiting the transcription activator Ifh1 under nutrient-rich conditions. During starvation, Ifh1 dissociates from the RPG promoter, and the transcriptional repressor Crf1 binds to Fhl1 instead of Ifh1, thereby suppressing transcription. However, the lethality of the ifh1Δ strain was suppressed by deletion of FHL1, suggesting that Ifh1 has essential functions beyond transcriptional activation. Detailed analyses using various deletion mutants of Fhl1 and Ifh1 revealed that the lethality of the ifh1Δ strain is suppressed by mutation of the forkhead-associated (FHA) domain, which interacts with the forkhead-binding (FHB) domains of Ifh1 and Crf1. Inducing Fhl1-expression in ifh1Δfhl1Δ strain suppressed growth, indicating that promoter-bound Fhl1 inhibits RPG transcription via an unknown mechanism. The lethality of ifh1Δ strain was suppressed by expression of the Ifh1 FHB domain from its native promoter or by overexpression of the corresponding domain of Crf1. These findings suggest that, while Fhl1 promotes transcription by recruiting Ifh1, dissociation of Ifh1 exposes the FHA domain, which triggers growth inhibition via an unknown mechanism. Binding to the FHA domain and neutralizing its inhibitory activity may represent a key function of Ifh1.
