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

The size of the nucleus is tightly coordinated with cell size across eukaryotes, yet the physiological significance of maintaining proper nuclear dimensions remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate how nuclear size dysregulation resulting from perturbed nucleocytoplasmic transport affects mitotic fidelity in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Overexpression of a GFP-tagged nuclear export signal (NES-GFP) induced nuclear expansion, leading to severe growth defects and frequent errors in chromosome segregation during mitosis. Live-cell imaging revealed that enlarged nuclei underwent delayed mitotic progression and abnormal nuclear division. Strikingly, genetic suppression of nuclear expansion alleviated these defects, whereas enhancement of nuclear size exacerbated them. Together, these findings suggest that maintaining proper nuclear dimensions contributes to accurate chromosome segregation, although additional effects of NES-GFP overproduction and other factors influencing nuclear size should be further examined.
