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 in vivo characterization of the exact copy number and the specific function of each composite protein within the nuclear pore complex (NPC) remains both desirable and challenging. Through the implementation of live-cell high-speed super-resolution single-molecule microscopy, we first quantified the native copies of nuclear basket (BSK) proteins (Nup153, Nup50, and Tpr) prior to knocking them down in a highly specific manner via an auxin-inducible degron strategy. Second, we determined the specific roles that BSK proteins play in the nuclear export kinetics of model messenger RNA (mRNA) substrates. Finally, the three-dimensional (3D) nuclear export routes of these mRNA substrates through native NPCs in the absence of specific BSK proteins were obtained and further validated via postlocalization computational simulations. We found that these BSK proteins possess the stoichiometric ratio of 1:1:1 and play distinct roles in the nuclear export of mRNAs within live cells. The absence of Tpr from the NPC predominantly reduces the probability of nuclear mRNAs entering the NPC for export. Complete depletion of Nup153 and Nup50 results in an mRNA nuclear export efficiency decrease of approximately four folds. mRNAs can gain their maximum successful export efficiency as the copy number of Nup153 increased from zero to only half the full complement natively within the NPC. Lastly, the absence of Tpr or Nup153 seems to alter the 3D export routes of mRNAs as they pass through the NPC. However, the removal of Nup50 alone has almost no impact upon mRNA export route and kinetics.
