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 NUDF protein of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans functions in the cytoplasmic dynein pathway. It binds several proteins, including the NUDE protein. Green fluorescent protein-tagged NUDF and NUDA (dynein heavy chain) localize to linearly moving dashes ("comets") that coincide with microtubule ends. Herein, deletion of the nudE gene did not eliminate the comets of NUDF and NUDA, but affected the behavior of NUDA. Comets were also observed with the green fluorescent protein-tagged NUDE and its nonfunctional C-terminal domain. In addition, overexpressed NUDA and NUDE accumulated in specks that were either immobile or bounced randomly. Neither comets nor specks were observed with the functional N-terminal domain of NUDE, indicating that these structures are not essential for NUDE function. Furthermore, NUDF overproduction totally suppressed deletion of the nudE gene. This implies that the function of NUDE is secondary to that of NUDF. Unexpectedly, NUDF overproduction inhibited one conditional nudA mutant and all tested apsA mutants. An allele-specific interaction between the nudF and nudA genes is consistent with a direct interaction between NUDF and dynein heavy chain. Because APSA and its yeast homolog Num1p are cortical proteins, an interaction between the nudF and apsA genes suggests a role for NUDF at the cell cortex.
