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 cdc18'+gene is required both for initiation of DNA replication and for coupling mitosis to the completion of S phase. Cells lacking Cdc18 fail to enter S phase but still undergo nuclear division. Expression of cdc18+ is sufficient to drive a G1-arrested cdc10ts mutant into the S phase of the cell cycle, indicating that cdc18+ represents a critical link between passage through START and the initiation of DNA replication. Here we show that Cdcl8 is a highly unstable protein that is expressed only once per cell cycle at the boundary between GI and S phase. De novo synthesis of Cdc18 is required before, but not after, the initiation of DNA replication, indicating that Cdc18 function is not necessary once the initiation event has occurred. Overproduction of the protein results in an accumulation of cells with DNA content of greater than 2C and delays mitosis, suggesting that Cdc18 is sufficient to cause reinitiation of DNA replication within a given cell cycle. Our data indicate that the synthesis of Cdc18 protein is a critical rate-limiting step in the initiation of DNA replication during each cell cycle. The extreme lability of the protein may contribute to the prevention of reinitiation.
