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

Recent studies of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) have provided detailed descriptions of the core scaffold structures, yet fall short in resolving the dynamic FG meshwork with similar precision. Here, we present an amino acid resolution model that enables full-scale simulations of selective transport through the NPC. We map the spatial distributions and nanosecond dynamics of individual FG-Nups in the central transporter, revealing that the bimodal architecture of Nsp1 forms a dynamic central meshwork essential for regulating both passive and active transport. Incorporating nuclear transport receptors (NTRs), specifically Kap95, shows that NTRs strengthen the permeability barrier by increasing the energetic cost of inert cargo translocation. Kaps exhibit alternating phases of binding and motion, moving through transient voids generated by FG fluctuations. Overall, our simulations identify a dense GLFG-ring coated by low-mobility Kaps and a dynamic central FG meshwork that together create a reduced-dimensional transport surface of optimal binding avidity that drives Kap translocation.
