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 HOG mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway mediates the osmotic stress response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, activating genes like GPD1 (glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase), required for survival under hyperosmotic conditions. Activity of this pathway is regulated by Sln1p, a homolog of the "two-component" histidine kinase family of signal transduction molecules prominent in bacteria. Sln1p also regulates the activity of a Hog1p-independent pathway whose transcriptional output can be monitored using an Mcm1p-dependent lacZ reporter gene. The relationship between the two Sln1p branches is unclear, however, the requirement for unphosphorylated pathway intermediates in Hog1p pathway activation and for phosphorylated intermediates in the activation of the Mcm1p reporter suggests that the two Sln1p branches are reciprocally regulated. To further investigate the signals and molecules involved in modulating Sln1p activity, we have screened for new mutations that elevate the activity of the Mcm1p-dependent lacZ reporter gene. We find that loss of function mutations in FPS1, a gene encoding the major glycerol transporter in yeast activates the reporter in a SLN1-dependent fashion. We propose that elevated intracellular glycerol levels in the fps1 mutant shift Sln1p to the phosphorylated state and trigger the Sln1-dependent activity of the Mcm1 reporter. These observations are consistent with a model in which Sln1p autophosphorylation is triggered by a hypo-osmotic stimulus and indicate that the Sln1p osmosensor is tied generally to osmotic balance, and may not specifically sense an external osmolyte.
