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 pores serve as the sole gates mediating nucleocytoplasmic molecular communication. They constantly accept heavy molecular traffic at a rate of ~1000 molecules per second, selected from a vast number of molecules randomly approaching the pores. The central channel of the pores are highly crowded with an intrinsically disordered region of pore-forming subunits and this channel functions as a selective permeability barrier. Recently, the phase separation properties of the hydrophobic subunits of pores have been reported, together with the flexible amphiphilic nature of the transporting molecules. These findings suggest that phase separation is a fundamental mechanism of action in nuclear pores. In this chapter, the entire nucleocytoplasmic transport system and composition of the nuclear pore complex are reviewed, followed by a detailed review of recent studies focusing on the characteristic features of both nuclear pores and transporting molecules. Finally, intrinsic and extrinsic factors that adaptively affect the function of the molecular crowding barrier are introduced.
