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

Cytoplasmic dynein is a microtubule-binding protein which is considered to serve as a motor for retrograde organelle movement. In cultured fibroblasts, cytoplasmic dynein localizes primarily to lysosomes, membranous organelles whose movement and distribution in the cytoplasm have been shown to be dependent on the integrity of the microtubule cytoskeleton. We have recently identified conditions which lead to an apparent dissociation of dynein from lysosomes in vivo, indicating that alterations in membrane binding may be involved in the regulation of retrograde organelle movement (Lin, S. X. H., and C. A. Collins. 1993. J. Cell Sci. 105:579-588). Both brief serum withdrawal and low extracellular calcium levels induced this alteration, and the effect was reversed upon addition of serum or additional calcium. Here we demonstrate that the phosphorylation state of the dynein molecule is correlated with changes in its intracellular distribution in normal rat kidney fibroblasts. Dynein heavy chain phosphorylation level increased during serum starvation, and decreased back to control levels upon subsequent addition of serum. We found that okadaic acid, a phosphoprotein phosphatase inhibitor, mimicked the effects of serum starvation on both phosphorylation and the intracellular redistribution of dynein from a membrane-associated pool to one that was more soluble, with similar dose dependence for both phenomena. Cell fractionation by differential detergent extraction revealed that a higher proportion of dynein was present in a soluble pool after serum starvation than was found in comparable fractions from control cells. Our data indicate that cytoplasmic dynein is phosphorylated in vivo, and changes in phosphorylation state may be involved in a regulatory mechanism affecting the distribution of this protein among intracellular compartments.
