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

A number of signalling pathways have been identified that regulate apoptosis, but the mechanism that initiates apoptosis remains incompletely understood. We have found that the nuclear RanGTP level is diminished during the early stages of apoptosis, which correlates with immobilization of RCC1 on the chromosomes. Furthermore, the expression of phosphomimetic histone H2B or caspase-activated Mst1 immobilizes RCC1 and causes reduction of nuclear RanGTP levels, which leads to inactivation of the nuclear transport machinery. As a consequence, nuclear localization signal (NLS)-containing proteins, including NF-kappaB-p65, remain bound to importins alpha and beta in the cytoplasm. Knocking down Mst1 allows resumption of nuclear transport and the nuclear entry of NF-kappaB-p65, which have important roles in rescuing cells from apoptosis. Therefore, we propose that RCC1 reads the histone code created by caspase-activated Mst1 to initiate apoptosis by reducing the level of RanGTP in the nucleus.
