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 fission yeast cdc21 protein belongs to the MCM family, implicated in the once per cell cycle regulation of chromosome replication. In budding yeast, proteins in this family are eliminated from the nucleus during S phase, which has led to the suggestion that they may serve to distinguish unreplicated from replicated DNA, as in the licensing factor model. We show here that, in contrast to the situation in budding yeast, cdc21 remains in the nucleus after S phase, as is found for related proteins in mammalian cells. We suggest that regulation of nuclear import of these proteins may not be an essential aspect of their function in chromosome replication. To determine the function of cdc21+, we have analysed the phenotype of a gene deletion. cdc21+ is required for entry into S phase and, unexpectedly, a proportion of cells depleted of the gene product are able to enter mitosis in the absence of DNA replication. These results are consistent with the view that individual proteins in the MCM family are required for all initiation events, and defective initiation may impair the coordination between mitosis and S phase.
