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

The modalities of export of the ribosomal subunits from the nucleolus to the nuclear pores have been only partially clarified since it is not yet clear whether the movements depend purely on diffusion or also from an active process. Recently, we suggested the existence of an active transport mechanism of a subset (10-12%) of the small ribosomal subunits (SSU) (Cisterna et al. in 2006, Faseb J). Here, we give further evidence that an active, motor protein-mediated process exists for the SSU transport from the nucleolus to the nuclear pore. We demonstrate that the blockade of ATP synthesis and antibody-mediated inhibition of nuclear myosin or actin induce structural and functional modifications of the nucleolus, suggestive of transcriptional activity decrease. Moreover, both treatments induce a significant retention of RNA inside the nucleus and an accumulation of ribosomal subunits in the granular component. We suggest that the existence of this secondary, active mechanism of SSU transport might be utilized by the cell when a more rapid and directional export is needed.
