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

Ultrastructural cytochemistry has been, for many years now, a major tool for investigating structure-function relationships in the cell nucleus. It has been essential in approaching the roles which different nuclear structural constituents can play in nuclear functions. This article briefly summarises transmission electron microscopic studies aimed at characterising in situ nuclear architectural domains and their involvement in main nuclear functions, such as DNA replication, hnRNA transcription and pre-mRNA processing. It discusses the importance of ultrastructural cytochemistry in high resolution analyses of intranuclear distribution of chromatin domains and their topological relationships with other structural interphase nuclear constituents. It puts forward the central role of the perichromatin region as a functional nuclear domain. Finally, it attempts to critically evaluate some future applications of ultrastructural investigations of the nucleus and stresses the importance of combining them with light microscopic analyses of living cells.
