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

Here, we compared the effects of nucleofection and lipid-based approaches to introduce siRNA duplexes on the subsequent development of membrane polarity in kidney cells. Nucleofection of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, even with control siRNA duplexes, disrupted the initial surface polarity as well as the steady-state distribution of membrane proteins. Transfection using lipofectamine yielded slightly less efficient knockdown but did not disrupt membrane polarity. Polarized secretion was unaffected by nucleofection, suggesting a selective defect in the development of membrane polarity. Cilia frequency and length were not altered by nucleofection. However, the basolateral appearance of a fluorescent lipid tracer added to the apical surface of nucleofected cells was dramatically enhanced relative to untransfected controls or lipofectamine-treated cells. In contrast, [(3)H]inulin diffusion and transepithelial electrical resistance were not altered in nucleofected cells compared with untransfected ones. We conclude that nucleofection selectively hinders development of the tight junction fence function in MDCK cells.
