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

We have combined fluorescent analogue cytochemistry with fluorescence photobleaching recovery to measure the mobility of fluorescently labeled actin and other labeled test proteins microinjected into living amoebae. Bovine serum albumin, ovalbumin, and ribonuclease A have a cytoplasmic mobility, expressed as a diffusion coefficient, that is 1/2 to 1/3 of that observed in aqueous solution; 90% of the actin has a mobility 1/2 to 1/8 of that of G-actin in aqueous solution, and approximately equal to 10% of the actin has a mobility comparable to that of F-actin in aqueous solution. Therefore, no more than 10% of the actin in the cytoplasm of amoebae can exist as static filaments. Microinjection of phalloidin decreases the diffusion coefficient of the mobile component of cytoplasmic actin, and it also increases the low-mobility fraction to 50% but has no effect on the mobility of labeled ovalbumin. By comparing the mobility of actin in different parts of amoebae and by separating cytoplasm from plasmalemma-ectoplasm, we found the low-mobility fraction of actin to be enriched in the tail, along the plasmalemma-ectoplasm, and in contracted cytoplasm.
