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

Stress is known to induce retrograde tRNA translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus but translocation kinetics and tRNA-spatial distribution have not been characterized previously. We microinject fluorescently-labeled tRNA into living cells and use confocal microscopy to image tRNA spatial distribution in single cells at various levels of starvation and to determine translocation rate constants. Retrograde tRNA translocation occurs reversibly, within minutes after nutrition depletion of the extracellular medium. Such nutritional starvation leads to down-regulation of tRNA nuclear import and nearly complete curtailment of its nuclear export. Nuclear tRNA accumulation is suppressed in cells treated with the translation inhibitor puromycin, but is enhanced in cells treated with the microtubule inhibitor nocodazole. tRNA in the cytoplasm exhibits distinct spatial distribution inconsistent with diffusion, implying that such distribution is actively maintained. We propose that tRNA biological complexes and/or cytoplasmic electric fields are the likely regulators of cytoplasmic tRNA spatial distribution.
