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

Conventional actin has been implicated in various nuclear processes including chromatin remodeling, transcription, nuclear transport, and overall nuclear structure. Moreover, actin has been identified as a component of several chromatin remodeling complexes present in the nucleus. In animal cells, nuclear actin exists as a dynamic equilibrium of monomers and polymers. Actin-binding proteins (ABPs) such as ADF/cofilin and profilin play a role in actin import and export, respectively. However, very little is known about the localization and roles of nuclear actin in plants. In multicellular plants and animals, actin is comprised of an ancient and divergent family of protein variants. Here, we have investigated the presence and differential localization of two ancient subclasses of actin in isolated Arabidopsis nuclei. Although the subclass 1 variants ACT2 and ACT8 and subclass 2 variant ACT7 were found distributed throughout the nucleoplasm, ACT7 was often found more concentrated in nuclear speckles than subclass 1 variants. The nuclei from the act2-1/act8-2 double null mutant and the act7-5 null mutant lacked their corresponding actin variants. In addition, serial sectioning of several independent nuclei revealed that ACT7 was notably more abundant in the nucleolus than the subclass 1 actins. Profilin and ADF proteins were also found in significant levels in plant nuclei. The possible functions of differentially localized nuclear actin variants are discussed.
