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

Translation elongation factor 1beta (EF-1beta) catalyzes the exchange of bound GDP for GTP on EF-1alpha. The lethality of a null allele of the TEF5 gene encoding EF-1beta in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was suppressed by extra copies of the TEF2 gene encoding EF-1alpha. The strains with tef5::TRP1 suppressed by extra copies of TEF were slow growing, cold sensitive, hypersensitive to inhibitors of translation elongation and showed increased phenotypic suppression of +1 frameshift and UAG nonsense mutations. Nine dominant mutant alleles of TEF2 that cause increased suppression of frameshift mutations also suppressed the lethality of tef5::TRP1. Most of the strains in which tef5::TRP1 is suppressed by dominant mutant alleles of TEF2 grew more slowly and were more antibiotic sensitive than strains with tef5::TRP1 is suppressed by wild-type TEF2. Two alleles, TEF2-4 and TEF2-10, interact with tef5::TRP1 to produce strains that showed doubling times similar to tef5::TRP1 strains containing extra copies of wild-type TEF2. These strains were less cold sensitive, drug sensitive and correspondingly less efficient suppressor of +1 frameshift mutations. These phenotypes indicate that translation and cell growth are highly sensitive to changes in EF-1alpha and EF-1beta activity.
