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 addressed the question of whether Aspergillus nidulans has more than one cyclin-dependent kinase gene and identified such a gene, phoA, encoding two PSTAIRE-containing kinases (PHOAM1 and PHOAM47) that probably result from alternative pre-mRNA splicing. PHOAM47 is 66% identical to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pho85. The function of this gene was studied using phoA null mutants. It functions in a developmental response to phosphorus-limited growth but has no effect on the regulation of enzymes involved in phosphorus acquisition. Aspergillus nidulans shows both asexual and sexual reproduction involving temporal elaboration of different specific cell types. We demonstrate that developmental decisions in confluent cultures depend upon both the initial phosphorus concentration and the inoculation density and that these factors influence development through phoA. In the most impressive cases, absence of phoA resulted in a switch from asexual to sexual development (at pH 8), or the absence of development altogether (at pH 6). The phenotype of phoA deletion strains appears to be specific for phosphorus limitation. We propose that PHOA functions to help integrate environmental signals with developmental decisions to allow ordered differentiation of specific cell types in A.nidulans under varying growth conditions. The results implicate a putative cyclin-dependent kinase in the control of development.
