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

Although many reports over the past few decades have documented protease activity within the nucleus of various eukaryotic cells and tissues, the identity and biological significance of these nuclear proteases remain largely unknown. In-gel zymography is an elegant, sensitive, and inexpensive technique to identify and investigate proteases within complex biological mixtures, including nuclear soluble extracts. We and others have successfully leveraged in-gel zymography with purified nuclear extracts to discover several novel nuclear proteases, including metalloproteinases and cysteine proteases. In this chapter, we provide a detailed protocol to purify nuclear extracts from cells and tissues, prepare and execute in-gel zymography, and determine the identity of the associated nuclear protease(s).
