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 dynamin superfamily of proteins includes a large repertoire of evolutionarily conserved GTPases that interact with different subcellular organelle membranes in eukaryotes. Dynamins are thought to participate in a number of cellular processes involving membrane remodeling and scission. Dynamin-like proteins (DLPs) form a subfamily of this vast class and play important roles in cellular processes, such as mitochondrial fission, cytokinesis, and endocytosis. In the present study, a gene encoding a dynamin-like protein (EhDLP1) from the protist parasite Entamoeba histolytica was identified and the protein was partially characterized using a combination of in silico, biochemical, and imaging methods. The protein was capable of GTP binding and hydrolysis, lipid binding, and oligomerization. Immunofluorescence studies showed the protein to be associated with the nuclear membrane. A mutant of EhDLP1 lacking GTP binding and hydrolyzing activities did not associate with the nuclear membrane. The results suggest a nucleus-associated function for EhDLP1.
