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

The mechanism by which nuclear and cytoplasmic filaments are sorted in vivo was studied by examining which lamin sequences are required to target an otherwise cytoplasmic IF protein, the small neurofilament subunit (NF-L), to the nuclear lamina. By swapping corresponding domains between NF-L and lamin A, nuclear envelope targeting of NF-L was shown to require the presence of the "head" domain, a 42-amino acid sequence unique to lamin rod domains, a nuclear localization signal and the CAAX motif. Replacement of the entire COOH-terminal tail of lamin A with that of NF-L had no discernible effect on nuclear localization of lamin A, provided the substituted NF-L tail contained a NLS and a CAAX motif. This chimeric protein exhibited characteristics more typical of lamin B than that of the parental lamin A. With regard to cytoplasmic assembly properties, substitution of the head domain of lamin A for that of NF-L did not substantially affect the ability of NF-L to coassemble with vimentin in the cytoplasm. In contrast, insertion of a 42-amino acid sequence unique to lamin rod domains into NF-L profoundly affected NF-L coassembly with vimentin indicating that the 42-amino acid insertion in lamins may be important for sorting lamins from cytoplasmic IF proteins.
