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

Transcriptional repression of the a-specific genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha cells involves the concerted action of several proteins. The homeodomian protein alpha 2, together with MCM1, recruits two general transcriptional repressors, SSN6 and TUP1, to the promoters of a-specific genes. SSN6 and TUP1 then mediate repression of the a-specific genes. SIN4, another general negative regulator, is required for this repression, but unlike tup1 or ssn6 deletions, sin4 deletions cause only partial loss of repression. We have screened for other genes required for a-specific gene repression in alpha cells. In addition to recovering multiple alleles of previously identified genes required for this process (referred to as alpha 2 repression), we have identified four other genes, designated ARE1, ARE2, ARE3, and ARE4 (for alpha 2 repression). Recessive mutations in the ARE genes cause partial loss of a-specific gene repression and cause pleiotropic phenotypes similar to those resulting from mutations in SSN6, TUP1, or SIN4, suggesting that the ARE genes are general negative regulators. Based on our initial analysis, we propose that two distinct classes of general negative regulators cooperate to bring about full levels of alpha 2 repression. The sequence of ARE1 revealed that it encodes a CDC28-related protein kinase, identical to UME5, and thus suggests that protein phosphorylation plays a role in alpha 2 repression.
