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

Transcription of the three unlinked, homologous STA1-3 glucoamylase-encoding genes, involved in starch degradation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was previously shown to be down-regulated by the presence of STA10, acting via three upstream repression sequence regions that were identified in the STA2 promoter. Here we report the cloning and characterization of a putative transcriptional activator gene, MSS10 (multicopy suppressor of STA10), which, when present in multiple copies, overcomes STA10 repression. Deletion of MSS10, located on chromosome XV, resulted in media-specific extinction of glucoamylase synthesis. The nucleotide sequence of MSS10 is identical to three other genes from S. cerevisiae identified as: FUP1, a gene that enhances iron-limited growth; PHD2, a gene identified for its ability to induce pseudohyphal growth in diploid cells grown on nitrogen-limited media; and MSN1, a gene encoding a transcriptional activator involved in invertase regulation.
