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

Whether nucleoskeletons seen after extracting cells are preparative artefacts is controversial. Using an extraction method that preserves vital nuclear functions, we have visualized part of a nucleoskeleton by electron microscopy of thick resinless sections. Cells encapsulated in agarose microbeads are lysed using Triton in a physiological buffer; the agarose coat prevents aggregation and protects fragile cell contents. These extracted cells are accessible to small molecules and transcribe and replicate at rates close to those in vivo. After electroeluting most chromatin after treatment with HaeIII, a skeleton is uncovered which ramifies throughout the nucleus. Individual filaments are approximately 10 nm wide with an axial repeat of 23 nm, characteristic of intermediate filaments.
