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

Temperature-sensitive mutations were generated in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PPH22 gene that, together with its homologue PPH21, encode the catalytic subunit of type 2A protein phosphatase (PP2A). At the restrictive temperature (37 degrees), cells dependent solely on pph22 alleles for PP2A function displayed a rapid arrest of proliferation. Ts pph22 mutant cells underwent lysis at 37 degrees, showing an accompanying viability loss that was suppressed by inclusion of 1 M sorbitol in the growth medium. Ts pph22 mutant cells also displayed defects in bud morphogenesis and polarization of the cortical actin cytoskeleton at 37 degrees. PP2A is therefore required for maintenance of cell integrity and polarized growth. On transfer from 24 degrees to 37 degrees, Ts- pph22 mutant cells accumulated a 2N DNA content indicating a cell cycle block before completion of mitosis. However, during prolonged incubation at 37 degrees, many Ts- pph22 mutant cells progressed through an aberrant nuclear division and accumulated multiple nuclei. Ts- pph22 mutant cells also accumulated aberrant microtubule structures at 37 degrees, while under semi-permissive conditions they were sensitive to the microtubule-destabilizing agent benomyl, suggesting that PP2A is required for normal microtubule function. Remarkably, the multiple defects of Ts- pph22 mutant cells were suppressed by a viable allele (SSD1-v1) of the polymorphic SSD1 gene.
