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

During budding in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, maternal vacuole material is delivered into the growing daughter cell via tubular or vesicular structures. One of the late steps in vacuole inheritance is the fusion in the bud of vesicles derived from the maternal vacuole. This process has been reconstituted in vitro and requires isolated vacuoles, a physiological temperature, cytosolic factors, and ATP (Conradt, B., J. Shaw, T. Vida, S. Emr, and W. Wickner. 1992. J. Cell Biol. 119:1469-1479). We now report a simple and reliable assay to quantify vacuole-to-vacuole fusion in vitro. This assay is based on the maturation and activation of vacuole membrane-bound pro-alkaline phosphatase by vacuolar proteinase A after vacuole-to-vacuole fusion. In vitro fusion allowed maturation of 30 to 60% of pro-alkaline phosphatase. Vacuoles prepared from a mutant defective in vacuole inheritance in vivo (vac2-1) were inactive in this assay. Vacuole fusion in vitro required a vacuole membrane potential. Inhibition by nonhydrolyzable guanosine derivatives, mastoparans, and benzalkonium chloride suggest that GTP-hydrolyzing G proteins may play a key role in the in vitro fusion events.
