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 condensates (NCs) are membraneless organelles that enable spatial and functional compartmentalization in the nucleus. Yet, the components and functional co-organization of NCs have been poorly studied. Here, we used PhastID to explore the proximal interactome of 18 NCs in HeLa cells. Our data revealed the organizational flow of gene control among these NCs. Crucially, we developed an algorithm to dissect the intricate internal relations of NCs. This algorithm led to key discoveries: the identification of an uncharacterized BUD13 condensate, and the recognition of specific co-organizations between nuclear gems and Cajal bodies for telomerase maturation, and between nuclear gems and histone locus bodies for histone gene pre-mRNA processing. We also created a global reference map to understand NC dynamics under stresses and how disease-related mutations differentially affect NC interactomes. Overall, our work provides a proximal proteome-based atlas for human NCs, substantially advancing our spatiotemporal understanding of nuclear biological events.
