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 role of the Drosophila lamin protein in nuclear envelope assembly was studied using a Drosophila in vitro assembly system that reconstitutes nuclei from added sperm chromatin or naked DNA. Upon incubation of the embryonic assembly extract with anti-Drosophila lamin antibodies, the attachment of nuclear membrane vesicles to chromatin surface and nuclear envelope formation did not occur. Lamina assembly and nuclear membrane vesicles attachment to the chromatin were inhibited only when the activity of the 75-kD lamin isoform was inhibited in both soluble and membrane-vesicles fractions. Incubation of decondensed sperm chromatin with an extract that was depleted of nuclear membranes revealed the presence of lamin molecules on the chromatin periphery. In addition, high concentrations of bacterially expressed lamin molecules added to the extract, were able to associate with the chromatin periphery, and did not inhibit nuclear envelope assembly. After nuclear reconstitution, a fraction of the lamin pool was converted into the typical 74- and 76-kD isoforms. Together, these data strongly support an essential role of the lamina in nuclear envelope assembly.
