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

Chloride intracellular channel proteins (CLICs) display ubiquitous expression, with each member exhibiting specific subcellular localisation. While all CLICs, except CLIC3, exhibit a highly conserved putative nuclear localisation sequence (NLS), only CLIC1, CLIC3 and CLIC4 exist within the nucleus. The CLIC4 NLS, 199-KVVAKKYR-206, appears crucial for nuclear entry and interacts with mouse nuclear import mediator Impα isoform 1, omitting the IBB domain (mImpα1ΔIBB). The essential nature of the basic residues in the CLIC4 NLS has been established by the fact that mutating out these residues inhibits nuclear import, which in turn is linked to cutaneous squamous cell cancer. Given the conservation of the CLIC NLS, CLIC1 likely follows a similar import pathway to CLIC4. Peptides of the CLIC1 (Pep1; Pep1_S C/S mutant) and CLIC4 (Pep4) NLSs were designed to examine binding to human Impα isoform 1, omitting the IBB domain (hImpα1ΔIBB). Molecular docking indicated that the core CLIC NLS region (KKYR) forms a similar binding pattern to both mImpα1ΔIBB and hImpα1ΔIBB. Fluorescence quenching demonstrated that Pep1_S (K
