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

Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) importin-alpha-16 is a translocon-associated protein that participates in the early sorting pathway of baculovirus integral membrane proteins destined for the inner nuclear membrane (INM). To discern whether sorting intermediate protein complexes like those observed in insect cells are also formed with mammalian INM proteins, cross-linked complexes of importin-alpha-16 with human lamin B receptor (LBR) and nurim were examined. Both LBR and nurim cross-link with Sf9 importin-alpha-16 during cotranslational membrane integration and remain proximal with importin-alpha-16 after integration into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and release from the translocon. Human cells encode several isoforms of importin-alpha; to determine whether any of these isoforms may recognize INM-directed proteins, they were tested for their ability to cross-link with the viral-derived INM sorting motif sequence. One cross-linked adduct was detected with a 16-kDa isoform encoded from KPNA4 (KPNA-4-16). KPNA-4-16 was easily detected in microsomal membranes prepared from KPNA4-16 recombinant virus-infected cells and was also detected in microsomes prepared from HeLa cells. Together these observations suggest that elements of the early sorting pathway of INM-directed proteins mediated by importin-alpha-16 are highly conserved, and mammalian KPNA-4-16 is a candidate partner in sorting integral membrane proteins to the INM.
