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

NXF1-like members of the NXF (nuclear export factor) family orchestrate bulk nuclear export of mRNA, while functionally distinct NXF variant proteins carry out separate substrate-specific and tissue-specific RNA regulation. Metazoan organisms possess at least one NXF1-like gene and one or more NXF variant genes. Heterodimerization of both proteins with the NXT (NTF2-related export) protein is central to NXF family function; however, given the multiplicity of NXF/NXT complexes, the specificity and mechanism of heterodimerization remain unclear. Here, we report the structural and functional analyses of the Caenorhabditis elegans NXF variant ceNXF2 bound to ceNXT1. Contacts crucial for NXF/NXT heterodimer stability and specificity, including a probable site for phosphoregulation, have been identified. The ceNXF2 NTF2 domain bears at least two nucleoporin (Nup) binding pockets necessary for the colocalization of ceNXF2/ceNXT1 at the nuclear envelope. Unexpectedly, one Nup binding pocket is formed at the heterodimer interface of the ceNXF2/ceNXT1 complex, demonstrating that NXT binding directly regulates NXF function.
