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 budding and fission yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe have served as invaluable model organisms to study conserved fundamental cellular processes. Although super-resolution microscopy has in recent years paved the way to a better understanding of the spatial organization of molecules in cells, its wide use in yeasts has remained limited due to the specific know-how and instrumentation required, contrasted with the relative ease of endogenous tagging and live-cell fluorescence microscopy. To facilitate super-resolution microscopy in yeasts, we have extended the ultrastructure expansion microscopy (U-ExM) method to both S. cerevisiae and S. pombe, enabling a 4-fold isotropic expansion. We demonstrate that U-ExM allows imaging of the microtubule cytoskeleton and its associated spindle pole body, notably unveiling the Sfi1p-Cdc31p spatial organization on the appendage bridge structure. In S. pombe, we validate the method by monitoring the homeostatic regulation of nuclear pore complex number through the cell cycle. Combined with NHS-ester pan-labelling, which provides a global cellular context, U-ExM reveals the subcellular organization of these two yeast models and provides a powerful new method to augment the already extensive yeast toolbox. This article has an associated First Person interview with Kerstin Hinterndorfer and Felix Mikus, two of the joint first authors of the paper.
