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

Approximately 100 proteins are targeted to the inner nuclear membrane (INM), where they regulate chromatin and nuclear dynamics. The mechanisms underlying trafficking to the INM are poorly understood. The Caenorhabditis elegans SUN protein UNC-84 is an excellent model to investigate such mechanisms. UNC-84 recruits KASH proteins to the outer nuclear membrane to bridge the nuclear envelope (NE), mediating nuclear positioning. UNC-84 has four targeting sequences: two classical nuclear localization signals, an INM sorting motif, and a signal conserved in mammalian Sun1, the SUN--nuclear envelope localization signal. Mutations in some signals disrupt the timing of UNC-84 nuclear envelope localization, showing that diffusion is not sufficient to move all UNC-84 to the NE. Thus targeting UNC-84 requires an initial step that actively transports UNC-84 from the peripheral endoplasmic reticulum to the NE. Only when all four signals are simultaneously disrupted does UNC-84 completely fail to localize and to function in nuclear migration, meaning that at least three signals function, in part, redundantly to ensure proper targeting of UNC-84. Multiple mechanisms might also be used to target other proteins to the INM, thereby ensuring their proper and timely localization for essential cellular and developmental functions.
