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

Transport of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in the cytoplasm is essential for localization to translation sites and for post-transcriptional regulation. Utilizing single-RNA sensitive probes and real-time fluorescence microscopy, we accurately quantified the dynamics of native, non-engineered, β-actin mRNAs within the cytoplasm of epithelial cells and fibroblasts for the first time. Using single-particle tracking and temporal analysis, we determined that native β-actin mRNAs, under physiologic conditions, exhibit bursts of intermittent, processive motion on microtubules, interspersed between time periods of diffusive motion, characterized by non-thermal enhanced diffusivity. When transport processes were perturbed via ATP depletion, temperature reduction, dynamitin overexpression and chemical inhibitors, processive motion was diminished or eliminated and diffusivity was reduced. These data support a model whereby processive, motor-driven motion is responsible for long-distance mRNA transport.
