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

Glucose inhibits meiosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae at three different steps (IME1 transcription, IME2 transcription, and entry into late stages of meiosis). Because many of the regulatory effects of glucose in yeast are mediated through the inhibition of Snf1 kinase, a component of the glucose repression pathway, we determined the role of SNF1 in regulating meiosis. Deleting SNF1 repressed meiosis at the same three steps that were inhibited by glucose, suggesting that glucose blocks meiosis by inhibiting Snf1. For example, the snf1Delta mutant completely failed to induce IME1 transcripts in sporulation medium. Furthermore, even when this block was bypassed by expression of IME1 from a multicopy plasmid, IME2 transcription and meiotic initiation occurred at only 10 to 20% of the levels seen in wild-type cells. The addition of glucose did not further inhibit IME2 transcription, suggesting that Snf1 is the primary mediator of glucose controls on IME2 expression. Finally, in snf1Delta cells in which both blocks on meiotic initiation were bypassed, early stages of meiosis (DNA replication and commitment to recombination) occurred, but later stages (chromosome segregation and spore formation) did not, suggesting that Snf1 controls later stages of meiosis independently from the two controls on meiotic initiation. Because Snf1 is known to activate the expression of genes required for acetate metabolism, it may also serve to connect glucose and acetate controls on meiotic differentiation.
