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 inner membrane of the nuclear envelope (NE) was previously shown to contain a Na/Ca exchanger (NCX) tightly linked to GM1 ganglioside that mediates transfer of nucleoplasmic Ca(2+) to the NE lumen and constitutes a cytoprotective mechanism. This transfer was initially observed with isolated nuclei and is now demonstrated in living cells in relation to subcellular Ca(2+) dynamics. Four cell lines with varying expression of NCX and GM1 in the NE were transfected with cameleon-fluorescent Ca(2+) indicators genetically targeted to NE/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and nucleoplasm to monitor [Ca(2+)](ne/er) and [Ca(2+)](n) respectively. Cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) was indicated with fura-2. Thapsigargin caused progressive loss of [Ca(2+)](ne/er), which was rapidly replaced on addition of extrinsic Ca(2+) to those cells containing fully functional NCX/GM1: differentiated NG108-15 and C6 cells. Reduced elevation of [Ca(2+)](ne/er) following thapsigargin depletion occurred in cells containing little or no GM1 in the NE: undifferentiated NG108-15 and NG-CR72 cells. No change in [Ca(2+)](ne/er) due to applied Ca(2+) was seen in Jurkat cells, which entirely lack NCX. Ca(2+) entry to NE/ER was also blocked by KB-R7943, inhibitor of NCX. [Ca(2+)](n) and [Ca(2+)](cyt) were elevated independent of [Ca(2+)](ne/er) and remained in approximate equilibrium with each other. Ca(2+) rise in the ER originated in the NE region and extended to the entire ER network. These results indicate the nuclear NCX/GM1 complex acts to gate Ca(2+) transfer from cytosol to ER, an alternate route to the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase pump. They also suggest a possible contributory mechanism for independent regulation of nuclear Ca(2+).
