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 protein encoded by the yeast gene SPT14 shows high sequence similarity to the human protein, PIG-A, whose loss of activity is at the origin of the disease paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. The symptoms of this disease are apparently due to a loss of cell surface, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. Like PIG-A mutant cells, spt14 mutant cells are defective in GPI anchoring due to a defect in the synthesis of GlcNAc-PI, the first step of GPI synthesis. The spt14 mutant causes several other abnormalities including transcriptional defects and a downregulation of inositolphosphoceramide synthesis. We suggest that these defects are indirect results of the loss of GPI anchoring.
