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

BACKGROUND &

aimsActin-myosin II motor converts chemical energy into force/motion in muscle and nonmuscle cells. The phosphorylation of 20-kilodalton regulatory myosin light chain (MLC(20)) is critical to the cytoplasmic functions of these motors. We do not know whether myosin II and actins in the nucleus function as motors to generate relative motion, such as that between RNA polymerase II holoenzyme and DNA, for assembly of the preinitiation complex.

methodsThe experiments were performed on primary cultures of human colonic circular smooth muscle cells and rat colonic circular muscle strips.

resultsWe show that myosin II and alpha- and beta-actins are present in the nuclei of colonic smooth muscle cells. The nuclear myosin II is tethered to recognition sequence AGCTCC (-39/-34) in the intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) core promoter region. The actins are known to complex with RNA polymerase II, and they are tethered to the nucleoskeleton. The dephosphorylation of MLC(20) increases the transcription of ICAM-1, whereas its phosphorylation decreases it. Colonic inflammation suppresses nuclear myosin light chain kinase, which increases the unphosphorylated form of nuclear MLC(20), resulting in enhanced transcription of ICAM-1.

conclusionsMyosin II is a core transcription factor. The phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of nuclear MLC(20) results in the sliding of myosin and actin molecules past each other, producing relative motion between DNA bound to the myosin II and RNA polymerase II holoenzyme bound to actins and nucleoskeleton.
