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

Understanding the spatial organization of nucleoporins (Nups) with intrinsically disordered domains within the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is crucial for deciphering eukaryotic nucleocytoplasmic transport. Leveraging high-speed 2D single-molecule tracking and virtual 3D super-resolution microscopy in live HeLa cells, we investigated the spatial distribution of all eleven phenylalanine-glycine (FG)-rich Nups within individual NPCs. Our study reveals a nuanced landscape of FG-Nup conformations and arrangements. Five FG-Nups are steadfastly anchored at the NPC scaffold, collectively shaping a central doughnut-shaped channel, while six others exhibit heightened flexibility, extending towards the cytoplasmic and nucleoplasmic regions. Intriguingly, Nup214 and Nup153 contribute to cap-like structures that dynamically alternate between open and closed states along the nucleocytoplasmic transport axis, impacting the cytoplasmic and nuclear sides, respectively. Furthermore, Nup98, concentrated at the scaffold region, extends throughout the entire NPC while overlapping with other FG-Nups. Together, these eleven FG-Nups compose a versatile, capped trichoid channel spanning approximately 270 nm across the nuclear envelope. This adaptable trichoid channel facilitates a spectrum of pathways for passive diffusion and facilitated nucleocytoplasmic transport. Our comprehensive mapping of FG-Nup organization within live NPCs offers a unifying mechanism accommodating multiple transport pathways, thereby advancing our understanding of cellular transport processes.
