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

Kinesin-1 is a processive motor protein that uses ATP-derived energy to transport a variety of intracellular cargoes toward the cell periphery. The ability to visualize and monitor kinesin transport in live cells is critical to study the myriad of functions associated with cargo trafficking. Herein we report the discovery of a fluorogenic small molecule substrate (QPD-OTf) for kinesin-1 that yields a precipitating dye along its walking path on microtubules (MTs). QPD-OTf enables to monitor native kinesin-1 transport activity in cellulo without external modifications. In vitro assays show that kinesin-1 and MTs are sufficient to yield fluorescent crystals; in cells, kinesin-1 specific transport of cargo from the Golgi appears as trails of fluorescence over time. These findings are further supported by docking studies, which suggest the binding of the activity-based substrate in the nucleotide binding site of kinesin-1.
