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

Actin labeled with 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein has been incorporated into the functional pool of actin in Chaos carolinensis and Physarum polycephalum by direct microinjection. The functional activity of the labeled actin has been analyzed at three levels of organization as: (a) with the purified actin, (b) in motile extracts of cells, and (c) in living motile cells. The labeled actin exhibited normal polymerization and activated myosin ATPase to a similar extent as unlabeled controls. Labeled actin and endogenous actin were incorporated into contracted pellets to approximately the same extent in motile cell extracts. After labeled actin had been microinjected into single C. carolinensis cells, the fluorescent actin spread into both the endoplasm and etoplasm without forming distinct fibrils. In contrast, fluorescent bundles developed in the ectoplasm of P. polycephalum following microinjection of labeled actin. This experimental method in conjunction with fluorescence spectroscopic techniques could become a powerful tool for studying the intracellular distribution and structural changes of components in living cells.
