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 trafficking is essential for cellular function and biomedical applications such as nucleus-targeted drug delivery; however, how passive nuclear transport varies across cell types and phenotypic states remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate passive nuclear transport of fluorescent molecular cargoes spanning 500-20,000 Da across multiple cell lines. We observe cell-line-specific nuclear restrictions and find that passive nuclear uptake does not exhibit a monotonic dependence on molecular weight, suggesting non-Fickian transport behavior. Furthermore, transforming a healthy breast cell model into an invasive-like phenotype via TGF-Beta treatment significantly altered passive nuclear transport characteristics, closely resembling those of a well-established invasive breast cancer cell line. These phenotype-dependent changes in nuclear permeability provide new insight into fundamental biophysical alterations associated with cancerous cellular transformation.
