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 110K-calmodulin complex of intestinal microvilli is believed to be the link between the actin filaments comprising the core bundle and the surrounding cell membrane. Although not the first study describing a purification scheme for the 110K-calmodulin complex, a procedure for the isolation of stable 110K-calmodulin complex both pure and in high yield is presented; moreover, isolation is without loss of the associated calmodulin molecules since a previously determined ratio in isolated microvillar cytoskeletons of calmodulin to 110-kD polypeptide of 3.3:1 is preserved. We have found that removal of calmodulin from the complex by the calmodulin antagonists W7 or W13 results in precipitation of the 110-kD polypeptide with calmodulin remaining in solution. The interaction of 110K-calmodulin with beef skeletal muscle F-actin has been examined. Cosedimentation assays of 110K-calmodulin samples incubated with F-actin show the amount of 110K-calmodulin associating with F-actin to be ATP, calcium, and protein concentration dependent; however, relatively salt independent. In calcium, approximately 30% of the calmodulin remains in the supernatant rather than cosedimenting with the 110-kD polypeptide and actin. Electron microscopy of actin filaments after incubation with 110K-calmodulin in either calcium- or EGTA-containing buffers show polarized filaments often laterally associated. Each individual actin filament is seen to exhibit an arrowhead appearance characteristic of actin filaments after their incubation with myosin fragments, heavy meromyosin and subfragment 1. In some cases projections having a 33-nm periodicity are observed. This formation of periodically spaced projections on actin filaments provides further compelling evidence that the 110K-calmodulin complex is the bridge between actin and the microvillar membrane.
