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

In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the cdc10+/SWI family members constitute the cell cycle 'start' genes. res1+ and res2+ are the newly identified members of this family and encode putative association partners of the Cdc10 protein. The Pat1 kinase plays a pivotal role in switching between vegetative growth and sexual development, and its inactivation in haploid cells induces unconditional growth arrest and subsequent meiosis. We have identified as an extragenic suppressor of a temperature sensitive pat1-114 mutant, a new B-type cyclin that negatively regulates conjugation by interacting with these 'start' genes. This cyclin, named Cyc17, is highly homologous with Cdc13, but has no detectable activity as a mitotic cyclin. Deletion of cyc17+ markedly enhances conjugation, despite the presence of nitrogen source, and accelerates growth arrest in G1 upon nitrogen starvation. Conversely, overexpression of the cyc17+ gene strongly inhibits conjugation. The cyc17+ gene is transcribed into 3.2 kb poly(A)+ and 3.0 kb poly(A)- RNAs. Only the poly(A)+ species is expressed during vegetative growth and periodically with a peak in the G1 and S phases of the cell cycle. On the other hand, the poly(A)- transcript is highly induced during conjugation. This induction is lost in res2- cells, whereas the poly(A)+ transcript is significantly reduced in res1- cells. However, the mating inhibition as well as the ability to rescue the pat1 mutation by overexpression of res1+ and res2+ are totally abolished in cyc17- cells. Thus, in S.pombe, a B-type cyclin, regulated by the newly identified cell cycle 'start' genes, plays a crucial role in the control of sexual development.
