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

Ras-related nuclear protein (Ran) is a Ras family GTPase, and its documented functions are the regulation of DNA replication, cell cycle progression, nuclear structure formation, RNA processing and exportation, and nuclear protein importation. In this study, we performed detailed mapping of Ran expression during mouse ontogeny using in situ hybridization. High Ran expression was found in various organs and tissues including the thymus cortex and spleen white pulp. Ran was induced in T cells 24 h after their activation. The function of Ran in the immune system was investigated using Ran transgenic (Tg) mice. In Ran Tg T cells, there was compromised activation marker expression, lymphokine secretion, and proliferation upon T cell receptor activation in vitro when compared with wild type T cells. Tg mice also manifested defective delayed type hypersensitivity in vivo. Upon PMA and ionomycin stimulation, Tg T cells were defective in nuclear accumulation of AP-1 factors (c-Jun and c-Fos) but not NF-kappaB family members. Our experiments showed that Ran had important regulatory function in T cell activation. One of the possible mechanisms is that intracellular Ran protein levels control the nuclear retention for selective transcription factors such as c-Jun and c-Fos of AP-1, which is known to be critical in T cell activation and proliferation and lymphokine secretion.
