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

backgroundThe eukaryotic signal recognition particle (SRP) consists of six proteins and one SRP RNA. This ribonucleoprotein complex assembles inside the nucleus. Nucleocytoplasmic transport is an essential process for the biogenesis of signal recognition particles (SRPs) as well as for the survival of a cell. There are studies on cells that indicate the import receptor is responsible for import of SRP proteins into nucleus, but there is a lack of evidence that SRP proteins directly bind with import receptors. METHODS AND

resultsCoding sequences of SRP 14 and importin α were amplified from synthesized cDNA and genomic DNA, respectively, of Plasmodium falciparum cultivated in vitro culture. The amplified products were cloned and expressed in E. coli, followed by purification. A binding study was conducted on glutathione-agarose as well as in a 96-well plate format at different concentrations of SRP 14 with immobilized importin α.

conclusionThis is the first report of direct binding between importin α and a eukaryotic signal recognition particle 14 (SRP 14). A cost-effective 96-well plate-based assay has also been developed to study the binding of cargoes of importin α.
