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

Tub4p is a novel tubulin found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It most resembles gamma-tubulin and, like it, is localized to the yeast microtubule organizing centre, the spindle pole body (SPB). In this paper we report the identification of SPC98 as a dosage-dependent suppressor of the conditional lethal tub4-1 allele. SPC98 encodes an SPB component of 98 kDa which is identical to the previously described 90 kDa SPB protein. Strong overexpression of SPC98 is toxic, causing cells to arrest with a large bud, defective microtubule structures, undivided nucleus and replicated DNA. The toxicity of SPC98 overexpression was relieved by co-overexpression of TUB4. Further evidence for an interaction between Tub4p and Spc98p came from the synthetic toxicity of tub4-1 and spc98-1 alleles, the dosage-dependent suppression of spc98-4 by TUB4, the binding of Tub4p to Spc98p in the two-hybrid system and the co-immunoprecipitation of Tub4p and Spc98p. In addition, Spc98-1p is defective in its interaction with Tub4p in the two-hybrid system. We suggest a model in which Tub4p and Spc98p form a complex involved in microtubule organization by the SPB.
