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

We have identified three SIR3 suppressors of the telomeric silencing defects conferred by missense mutations within the Rap1p C-terminal tail domain (aa 800-827). Each SIR3 suppressor was also capable of suppressing a rap1 allele (rap1-21), which deletes the 28 aa C-terminal tail domain, but none of the suppressors restored telometric silencing to a 165 amino acid truncation allele. These data suggest a Rap1p site for Sir3p association between the two truncation points (aa 664-799). In SIR3 suppressor strains lacking the Rap1p C-terminal tail domain, the presence of a second intragenic mutation within the rap1s domain (aa 727-747), enhanced silencing 30-300-fold. These data suggest a competition between Sir3p and factors that interfere with silencing for association in the rap1s domain. Rap1-21 strains containing both wild-type Sir3p and either of the Sir3 suppressor proteins displayed a 400-4000-fold increase in telomeric silencing over rap1-21 strains carrying either Sir3p suppressor in the absence of wild-type Sir3p. We propose that this telomere-specific synergism is mediated in part through stabilization of Rap1p/Sir3p telometric complexes by Sir3p-Sir3p interactions.
