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

Subcellular fractionation approaches remain an indispensable tool among a large number of biochemical methods to facilitate the study of specific intracellular events and characterization of protein functions. During apoptosis, the best-known form of programmed cell death, numerous proteins are translocated into and from the nucleus. Therefore, suitable biochemical techniques for the subcellular fractionation of apoptotic cells are required. However, apoptotic bodies and cell fragments might contaminate the fractions upon using the standard protocols. Here, we compared different nucleus/cytoplasm fractionation methods and selected the best-suited approach for the separation of nuclear and cytoplasmic contents. The described methodology is based on stepwise lysis of cells and washing of the resulting nuclei using non-ionic detergents, such as NP-40. Next, we validated this approach for fractionation of cells treated with various apoptotic stimuli. Finally, we demonstrated that nuclear fraction could be further subdivided into nucleosolic and insoluble subfractions, which is crucial for the isolation and functional studies of various proteins. Altogether, we developed a method for simple and efficient nucleus/cytoplasm fractionation of both normal and apoptotic cells.
