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

An 82-kD protein has been purified from the undercoat of the adherens junction isolated from the rat liver. The purification scheme includes low salt extraction followed by DEAE-cellulose ion exchange, DNase I-actin affinity, and carboxyl methyl-cellulose ion exchange chromatographies. The purified 82-kD protein was essentially free of contaminants as judged by SDS-PAGE combined with silver staining. The substoichiometric 82-kD protein largely inhibited the actin filament assembly; when the molar ratio of the 82-kD protein to G-actin was 1:1,000, the viscosity was reduced to 28% of the control value. Direct electron microscopic studies revealed that the 82-kD protein selectively inhibited monomer addition at the barbed ends of actin filaments. By use of the antibody raised against the 82-kD protein, this protein was shown by immunofluorescence microscopy to be localized at the cell-to-cell adherens junction in various types of cells. In contrast, the 82-kD protein was not concentrated at the cell-to-substrate adherens junctions (focal contacts). These findings have led us to conclude that the 82-kD protein is a barbed end-capping protein which is associated with the undercoat of the cell-to-cell adherens junction. Hence, we have tentatively designated the 82-kD protein as radixin (from the Latin word radix meaning root).
