Evolutionary relationship between yeast telomeric protein Cdc13 and Pot1.

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 CST complex protects the ss-overhang of telomeres. In animals, it is composed of CTC1, STN1 and TEN1. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, CTC1 is absent, while in Saccharomyces cerevisiae it is substituted by Cdc13. Pot1 is the only Shelterin protein that binds ssDNA, and is absent in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, I looked for homologues of CTC1, Cdc13 and Pot1 in Fungi. I found that CTC1 has been lost in Dikarya (yeasts and mushrooms), with its function probably being taken by Pot1. Furthermore, my analyses show that Cdc13 probably evolved from Pot1, by the loss of its third domain, which is responsible for binding Tpz1. In this way, Est3 (the orthologue of Tpz1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae) became part of the telomerase complex. Cdc13 further evolved by gene duplication in some budding yeasts, giving rise to two paralogues in Serinales, Ascoideales, Phaffomycetales, Saccharomycetales and Saccharomycodales: in these latter two orders, the two paralogues fused to give rise to a "long" Cdc13. Beyond their evolutionary interest, these results could be useful for researchers using new species of yeasts as model organisms.
