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 pore complexes provide channels for molecular transport across the nuclear envelope. Translocation of most proteins and RNAs through the pore complex is mediated by signal- and ATP-dependent mechanisms, while transport of small molecules is accomplished by passive diffusion. We report here that depletion of calcium from the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope with ionophores or the calcium pump inhibitor thapsigargin rapidly and potently inhibits signal mediated transport of proteins into the nucleus. Lumenal calcium depletion also inhibits passive diffusion through the pore complex. Signal-mediated protein import and passive diffusion are rapidly restored when the drugs depleting lumenal calcium are removed and cells are incubated at 37 degrees C in calcium-containing medium. These results indicate that loss of calcium from the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope reversibly affects properties of pore complex components located on the nuclear/cytoplasmic membrane surfaces, and they provide direct functional evidence for conformational flexibility of the pore complex. These methods will be useful for achieving reversible inhibition of nucleocytoplasmic trafficking for in vivo functional studies, and for studying the structure of the passive diffusion channel(s) of the pore complex.
