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 specific interaction of importins with nuclear localization signals (NLSs) of cargo proteins not only mediates nuclear import but also, prevents their aberrant phase separation and stress granule recruitment in the cytoplasm. The importin Transportin-1 (TNPO1) plays a key role in the (patho-)physiology of both processes. Here, we report that both TNPO1 and Transportin-3 (TNPO3) recognize two nonclassical NLSs within the cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRBP). Our biophysical investigations show that TNPO1 recognizes an arginine-glycine(-glycine) (RG/RGG)-rich region, whereas TNPO3 recognizes a region rich in arginine-serine-tyrosine (RSY) residues. These interactions regulate nuclear localization, phase separation, and stress granule recruitment of CIRBP in cells. The presence of both RG/RGG and RSY regions in numerous other RNA-binding proteins suggests that the interaction of TNPO1 and TNPO3 with these nonclassical NLSs may regulate the formation of membraneless organelles and subcellular localization of numerous proteins.
