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

The URS2 region of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae HO upstream region contains 10 binding sites for the Swi4p/Swi6p transcription factor and confers Swi4p dependence for transcription. Using a hybrid promoter, UASGAL (upstream activation sequence of GAL1)-URS2R, in which the GAL1-10 regulatory region is fused to the proximal 360 bp of URS2, we isolated mutants in which Swi4p is no longer required for transcription. Mutations of SIN4, ROX3, SRB8, SRB9, SRB10, SRB11, and two novel genes, NUT1 and NUT2, relieve the requirement of Swi4p for expression of this reporter. We found that NUT1 (open reading frame [ORF] YGL151w) is a nonessential gene, that NUT2 (ORF YPR168w) is essential, and that both Nut1p and Nut2p encode nuclear proteins. Deletion of NUT1 causes a constitutive, Swi4p-independent phenotype only in combination with the nut2-1 allele or an allele of CCR4. In contrast, inactivation of a temperature-sensitive allele of NUT2, nut2-ts70, alone causes constitutivity. nut1Delta nut2-1 cells and sin4Delta cells exhibit Swi4p-independent expression of an ho-lacZ reporter but not of an intact ho gene. Likewise, a pPHO5-lacZ construct is constitutively expressed in nut1 nut2 mutants relative to their wild-type counterparts. These results suggest that Nut1p, Nut2p, Sin4p, and Ccr4p define a group of proteins that negatively regulate transcription in a subtle manner which is revealed by artificial reporter genes.
