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

Clb2 is a conserved B-type cyclin essential for mitotic progression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with expression tightly regulated at transcriptional and proteolytic levels. However, it remains unclear whether Clb2 protein synthesis is regulated and responsive to cell growth. Here, we show that CLB2 mRNA localizes to the bud via the She2/She3 complex, while Clb2 protein accumulates in the mother nucleus. This mRNA localization enhances translation without affecting protein localization. A structured RNA element, a ZIP-code, is located within the coding sequence and is required, but not sufficient, for both mRNA transport and protein expression. Mutation of this ZIP code disrupts mRNA localization, reduces Clb2 synthesis, increases budded phase duration and daughter cell size. In wild-type cells, Clb2 protein levels scale with bud growth, a coupling lost in ZIP code mutants. These findings reveal a mechanism by which mRNA localization and translation are coordinated to link cell growth with cell cycle progression.
