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

mAbs were generated against HeLa nuclear matrix proteins and one, HIB2, which selectively stained mitotic cells, was selected for further study. Western blot analysis showed H1B2 antibody detected a protein of 240 kD in the nuclear matrix fractions. The H1B2 antigen was completely masked in immunofluorescently stained interphase cells. However, removing chromatin with DNase I digestion and 0.25 M ammonium sulfate extraction exposed the protein epitope. The resulting fluorescence pattern was bright, highly punctate, and entirely nuclear. Further extraction of the nuclear matrix with 2 M NaCl uncovers an underlying, anastomosing network of 9-13 nm core filaments. Most of the H1B2 antigen was retained in the fibrogranular masses enmeshed in the core filament network and not in the filaments themselves. The H1B2 antigen showed remarkable behavior at mitosis. As cells approached prophase the antigen became unmasked to immunofluorescent staining without the removal of chromatin. First appearing as a bright spot, the antibody staining spread through the nucleus finally concentrating in the region around the condensed chromosomes. The antibody also brightly stained the spindle poles and, more weakly, in a punctate pattern in the cytoskeleton around the spindle. As the chromosomes separated at anaphase, H1B2 remained with the separating daughter sets of chromosomes. The H1B2 antigen returned to the reforming nucleus at telophase, but left a bright staining region in the midbody. Immunoelectron microscopy of resinless sections showed that, in the mitotic cell, the H1B2 antibody did not stain chromosomes and centrioles themselves, but decorated a fibrogranular network surrounding and connected to the chromosomes and a fibrogranular structure surrounding the centriole.
