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 properties of keratin-containing intermediate filament (IF) networks in vivo were studied following the microinjection of biotinylated keratin. Keratin-IFs were biotinylated, disassembled, and separated into type I and type II proteins by ion exchange chromatography. Recombination of these derivatized type I and type II keratins resulted in the formation of 10-nm diameter IF. The type I keratins were microinjected into epithelial cells and observed by immunofluorescence microscopy. Biotin-rich spots were found throughout the cytoplasm at 15-20 min after injection. Short biotinylated fibrous structures were seen at 30-45 min after injection, most of which colocalized with the endogenous bundles of IF (tono-filaments). By 1 1/2 to 2 h after microinjection, extensive biotinylated keratin IF-like networks were evident. These were highly coincident with the endogenous tonofilaments throughout the cell, including those at desmosomal junctions. These results suggest the existence of a relatively rapid subunit incorporation mechanism using numerous sites along the length of the endogenous tonofilament bundles. These observations support the idea that keratin-IFs are dynamic cytoskeletal elements.
