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

Using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy in single-plane illumination microscopy, we investigated the dynamics of chromatin in interphase mouse adult fibroblast cell nuclei under the influence of the intermediate filament protein lamin A. We find that 1) lamin A-eGFP and histone H2A-mRFP show significant comobility, indicating that their motions are clearly interconnected in the nucleus, and 2) that the random motion of histones H2A within the chromatin network is subdiffusive, i.e., the effective diffusion coefficient decreases for slow timescales. Knocking out lamin A changes the diffusion back to normal. Thus, lamin A influences the dynamics of the entire chromatin network. Our conclusion is that lamin A plays a central role in determining the viscoelasticity of the chromatin network and helping to maintain local ordering of interphase chromosomes.
