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

During prophase, vertebrate cells disassemble their nuclear envelope (NE) in the process of NE breakdown (NEBD). We have established an in vitro assay that uses mitotic Xenopus laevis egg extracts and semipermeabilized somatic cells bearing a green fluorescent protein-tagged NE marker to study the molecular requirements underlying the dynamic changes of the NE during NEBD by live microscopy. We applied our in vitro system to analyze the role of the Ran guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) system in NEBD. Our study shows that high levels of RanGTP affect the dynamics of late steps of NEBD in vitro. Also, inhibition of RanGTP production by RanT24N blocks the dynamic rupture of nuclei, suggesting that the local generation of RanGTP around chromatin may serve as a spatial cue in NEBD. Furthermore, the microtubule-depolymerizing drug nocodazole interferes with late steps of nuclear disassembly in vitro. High resolution live cell imaging reveals that microtubules are involved in the completion of NEBD in vivo by facilitating the efficient removal of membranes from chromatin.
