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

Synchronous populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, generated by two independent methods, have been used to show that thymidylate synthase, in contrast to the vast majority of cellular proteins thus far examined, fluctuates periodically during the S. cerevisiae cell cycle. The enzyme, as assayed by two different methods, accumulated during S period and peaked in mid to late S phase, and then its level dropped. These observations suggest that both periodic synthesis and the instability of the enzyme contribute to the activity profile seen during the cell cycle. Accumulation of thymidylate synthase is determined at the level of its transcript, with synthase-specific mRNA levels increasing at least 10-fold to peak near the beginning of S period and then falling dramatically to basal levels after the onset of DNA synthesis. This mRNA peak coincided with the time during the cell cycle when thymidylate synthase levels were increasing maximally and immediately preceded the peak of DNA synthesis, for which the enzyme provides precursor dTMP.
