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 nuclear basket attaches to the nucleoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), coupling transcription to mRNA quality control and export. The basket expands the functional repertoire of a subset of NPCs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by drawing a unique RNA/protein interactome. Yet, how the basket docks onto the NPC core remains unknown. By integrating AlphaFold-based interaction screens, electron microscopy and membrane-templated reconstitution, we uncovered a membrane-anchored tripartite junction between basket and NPC core. The basket subunit Nup60 harbours three adjacent short linear motifs, which connect Mlp1, a parallel homodimer consisting of coiled-coil segments interrupted by flexible hinges, and the Nup85 subunit of the Y-complex. We reconstituted the Y-complex•Nup60•Mlp1 assembly on a synthetic membrane and validated the protein interfaces in vivo. Here we explain how a short linear motif-based protein junction can substantially reshape NPC structure and function, advancing our understanding of compositional and conformational NPC heterogeneity.
