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

Thousands of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) cover the nuclear surface of mammalian cells and establish selective transport conduits that biochemically segregate the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm. Although the molecular composition and structure of archetypical NPCs are well understood, distinct NPCs composed of varying nucleoporins exist in different cell types and even within individual cells. Furthermore, the integration of NPCs within mechanosensitive networks impacts their dilation state. However, whether (and how) the dilation or compositional plasticity of NPCs impacts their primary role as selective transport channels remains unclear. Based on our current understanding of NPC plasticity, we propose here that nuclear membrane tension and the resulting dilation of nuclear pores is a determinant of the compositional plasticity of NPCs, thus providing a framework to interpret how nucleoporins may influence cell fate decisions and explain the tissue-specificity of some NPC-related diseases.
