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 motor protein, cytoplasmic dynein is responsible for the movement of a variety of cargoes toward microtubule minus ends in cells. Little is understood about how dynein is regulated to specifically transport its various cargoes. In vertebrates, the dynein motor domain (DYNC1H) is encoded by a single gene; while there are two genes for the five smaller subunits that comprise the cargo binding domain of the dynein complex. The isoforms of the intermediate chain (DYNC1I) provide a good model system with which to study the roles the different isoforms of the cargo domain subunits have in designating specific dynein functions. The intermediate chains (DYNC1I) play a key scaffold role in the dynein complex. In neurons, dynein complexes with different intermediate chain isoforms have distinct roles, including cargo binding and transport. Some of the phospho-isoforms of the intermediate chain also specify binding to specific cargo. These data support the model that cytoplasmic dynein can be specifically regulated through the different isoforms of the subunits.
