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 compartments of eukaryotic cells maintain a distinct protein composition to perform a variety of specialized functions. We developed a new method for identifying the proteins that are transported to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in living mammalian cells. The principle is based on the reconstitution of two split fragments of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) by protein splicing with DnaE from Synechocystis PCC6803. Complementary DNA (cDNA) libraries fused to the N-terminal halves of DnaE and EGFP are introduced in mammalian cells with retroviruses. If an expressed protein is transported into the ER, the N-terminal half of EGFP meets its C-terminal half in the ER, and full-length EGFP is reconstituted by protein splicing. The fluorescent cells are isolated using fluorescence-activated cell sorting and the cDNAs are sequenced. The developed method was able to accurately identify cDNAs that encode proteins transported to the ER. We identified 27 novel proteins as the ER-targeting proteins. The present method overcomes the limitation of the previous GFP- or epitope-tagged methods, using which it was difficult to identify the ER-targeting proteins in a high-throughput manner.
