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

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) enter the cell by two different mechanisms-endocytosis followed by endosomal escape and direct translocation at the plasma membrane. The mechanism of direct translocation remains unresolved. In this work, the direct translocation of nonaarginine (R9) and two cyclic CPPs (CPP12 and CPP17) into Jurkat cells was monitored by time-lapse confocal microscopy. Our results provide direct evidence that all three CPPs translocate across the plasma membrane by a recently discovered vesicle budding-and-collapse (VBC) mechanism. Membrane translocation is preceded by the formation of nucleation zones. Up to four different types of nucleation zones and three variations of the VBC mechanism were observed. The VBC mechanism reconciles the enigmatic and conflicting observations in the literature.
