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

A polarized cell, to maintain distinct basolateral and apical membrane domains, must tightly regulate vesicular traffic terminating at either membrane domain. In this study we have examined the extent to which microtubules regulate such traffic in polarized cells. Using the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor expressed in polarized MDCK cells, we have examined the effects of nocodazole, a microtubule-disrupting agent, on three pathways that deliver proteins to the apical surface and two pathways that deliver proteins to the basolateral surface. The biosynthetic and transcytotic pathways to the apical surface are dramatically altered by nocodazole in that a portion of the protein traffic on each of these two pathways is misdirected to the basolateral surface. The apical recycling pathway is slowed in the presence of nocodazole but targeting is not disrupted. In contrast, the biosynthetic and recycling pathways to the basolateral surface are less affected by nocodazole and therefore appear to be more resistant to microtubule disruption.
