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

Endogenous plasma membrane proteins are sorted from two sites in the human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2. Apical proteins are transported from the Golgi apparatus to the apical domain along a direct pathway and an indirect pathway via the basolateral membrane. In contrast, basolateral proteins never appear in the apical plasma membrane. Here we report on the effect of the microtubule-active drug nocodazole on the post-synthetic transport and sorting of plasma membrane proteins. Pulse-chase radiolabeling was combined with domain-specific cell surface assays to monitor the appearance of three apical and one basolateral protein in plasma membrane domains. Nocodazole was found to drastically retard both the direct transport of apical proteins from the Golgi apparatus and the indirect transport (transcytosis) from the basolateral membrane to the apical cell surface. In contrast, neither the transport rates of the basolateral membrane nor the sorting itself were significantly affected by the nocodazole treatment. We conclude that an intact microtubular network facilitates, but is not necessarily required for, the transport of apical membrane proteins along the two post-Golgi pathways to the brush border.
