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

Proteins targeted to specific intracellular organelles such as mitochondria or the endoplasmic reticulum are able to cross membranes. Yet, to enter or exit the nucleus, proteins and RNA must pass through nonmembranous "gates" of the nuclear envelope, the nuclear pore complexes. Recently, the primary amino acid sequence of a few nuclear pore proteins (the nucleoporins) became available. Nucleoporins from mammals, amphibians and yeast are structurally homologous indicating that nuclear pore structures are evolutionarily conserved in the eukaryotic cell. The role of nucleoporins in nucleocytoplasmic transport is still unclear: are nucleoporins involved in decoding nuclear targeting signals or are they mere transporters? Although definite answers are not yet available, data are rapidly accumulating from several laboratories using a variety of approaches.
