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

Activation of heterodimeric E2F-DP transcription factors can drive the G1-S transition. Mutation of the Drosophila melanogaster dE2F gene eliminates transcriptional activation of several replication factors at the G1-S transition and compromises DNA replication. Here we describe a mutation in the Drosophila dDP gene. As expected for a defect in the dE2F partner, this mutation blocks G1-S transcription of DmRNR2 and cyclin E as previously described for mutations of dE2F. Mutation of dDP also causes an incomplete block of DNA replication. When S phase is compromised by reducing the activity of dE2F-dDP by either a dE2F or dDP mutation, the first phenotype detected is a reduction in the intensity of BrdU incorporation and a prolongation of the labeling. Notably, in many cells, there was no detected delay in entry into this compromised S phase. In contrast, when cyclin E function was reduced by a hypomorphic allele combination, BrdU incorporation was robust but the timing of S-phase entry was delayed. We suggest that dE2F-dDP contributes to the expression of two classes of gene products: replication factors, whose abundance has a graded effect on replication, and cyclin E, which triggers an all-or-nothing transition from G1 to S phase.
