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 nuclear pore complex (NPC) regulates transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Soluble cargo-protein complexes navigate through the pore by binding to phenylalanine-glycine (FG)-repeat proteins attached to the channel walls. The Nup62 complex contains the FG-repeat proteins Nup62, Nup54, and Nup58 and is located in the center of the NPC. The three proteins bind each other via conserved coiled-coil segments. To determine the stoichiometry of the Nup62 complex, we undertook an in vitro study using gel filtration and analytical ultracentrifugation. Our results reveal a 1:1:1 stoichiometry of the Nup62 complex, where Nup54 is central with direct binding to Nup62 and Nup58. At high protein concentration, the complex forms larger assemblies while maintaining the Nup62:Nup54:Nup58 ratio. For the homologous Nsp1 complex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we determine the same stoichiometry, indicating evolutionary conservation. Furthermore, we observe that eliminating one binding partner can result in the formation of complexes with noncanonical stoichiometry, presumably because unpaired coiled-coil elements tend to find a promiscuous binding partner. We suggest that these noncanonical stoichiometries observed in vitro are unlikely to be physiologically relevant.
