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

Nuclear-cytoskeletal coupling orchestrates critical cellular processes from migration to tissue organization. At the core of this machinery, outer nuclear membrane Klarsicht/ANC-1/SYNE homology (KASH) proteins function as sophisticated molecular conductors rather than simple structural tethers. This review examines three principles redefining these versatile proteins: specialized interfaces for selective microtubule motor protein recruitment that orchestrate diverse chromosomal and nuclear dynamics, coordination of multiple cytoskeletal systems through simultaneous engagement with actin and microtubules, and tissue-specific regulation that explains the diverse KASH protein-related disease manifestations. This framework provides insights into conditions from muscular dystrophy to neurodegeneration and suggests targeted therapeutic opportunities.
