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

A detailed molecular characterization of nuclear mRNA export will require an in vitro system, allowing a biochemical reconstitution of transport. To this end, an mRNA export assay has been developed using digitonin-permeabilized HeLa cells and 2'-O-methyl oligoribonucleotide molecular beacons for target detection. These probes allow the homogeneous detection of poly(A)+ RNA at subnanomolar concentrations in the presence of cytosol, without the need for RNA purification and time-consuming methods like northern blotting or RT-PCR. Nuclear export of endogenous mRNA in permeabilized cells occurs in a time- and temperature-dependent manner and can be inhibited by wheat germ agglutinin, indicative of specific transport through nuclear pore complexes. Nuclear export in vitro is insensitive to the depletion of ATP and does not depend on the addition of cytosolic factors, suggesting that shuttling proteins are not required for efficient transport. This is the first demonstration of molecular beacons as powerful tools for the analysis of nucleocytoplasmic RNA transport.
