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

Sporulation of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a process of cellular differentiation that occurs in MATa/MAT alpha diploid cells in response to starvation. The sporulation-specific genes DIT1 and DIT2, which are required for spore wall formation, are activated midway through the sporulation program, with maximal transcript accumulation occurring at the time of prospore enclosure. In this study, we have identified a negative regulatory element, termed NREDIT, that is located between the start sites of transcription of these divergently transcribed genes. This element, which prevents expression of the DIT1 and DIT2 genes during vegetative growth, reduces expression of a CYC1-lacZ reporter gene more than 1,000-fold and acts in an orientation- and position-independent manner. We found that the ability of NREDIT to turn of expression of the reporter gene and the chromosomal DIT1 and DIT2 genes in vegetative cells requires the Ssn6-Tup1 repression complex. Interestingly, NREDIT-mediated repression of the reporter gene is maintained during sporulation. Derepression during sporulation requires complex interactions among several cis-acting elements. These are present on an approximately 350-bp DNA fragment extending from NREDIT to the TATA box and an approximately 125-bp fragment spanning the TATA box of DIT1. Additionally, a region of NREDIT which is very similar in sequence to UASSPS4, an element that activates gene expression midway through sporulation, contributes both to vegetative repression and to sporulation-specific induction of DIT1. We propose a model to explain the requirement for multiple elements in overcoming NREDIT-mediated repression during sporulation.
