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

Microtubules in eukaryotic cells participate in a variety of nuclear and cytoplasmic structures, reflecting functional requirements and cell cycle position. We are studying the cellular regulation of microtubule assembly and organization in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We screened for genes that when overexpressed suppress the growth phenotype of conditional mutants in alpha-tubulin that arrest with excess microtubules at the nonpermissive temperature (class 2 mutations). Here we describe one such suppressing element, called ATS1 (for Alpha Tubulin Suppressor). Overexpression of this gene rescues both the growth and microtubule phenotypes of all class 2 mutations, but not the cold-sensitive mutations that arrest with no microtubules (class 1 mutations). Deletion of ATS1 confers a modest slow growth phenotype which is slightly enhanced in strains containing both a deletion of ATS1 and a class 2 tub 1 mutation. The predicted ATS1 protein contains 333 amino acids and has considerable structural homology to the products of both the mammalian mitotic control gene RCC1 and the S. cerevisiae gene SRM1/PRP20. Overexpression of SRM1/PRP20 also suppresses class 2 mutants. The results suggest that this family of genes may participate in regulatory interactions between microtubules and the cell cycle.
