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

The mystery of nuclear actin has puzzled biologists for decades largely due to the lack of defined experimental systems. However, the development of actin-containing chromatin-modifying complexes as a defined genetic and biochemical system in the past decade has provided an unprecedented opportunity to dissect the mechanism of actin in the nucleus. Although the established functions of actin mostly rely on its dynamic polymerization, the novel finding of the mechanism of action of actin in the INO80 chromatin-remodeling complex suggests a conceptually distinct mode of actin that functions as a monomer. In this review we highlight the new paradigm and discuss how actin interaction with chromatin suggests a fundamental divergence between conventional cytoplasmic actin and nuclear actin. Furthermore, we provide how this framework could be applied to investigations of nuclear actin in other actin-containing chromatin-modifying complexes.
