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

Activation of nuclear transcription factors, breakdown of nuclear envelope and apoptosis represent a group of nuclear events thought to be modulated by changes in nucleoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+]n. Direct evidence for, or against, this possibility has been, however, difficult to obtain because measurements of [Ca2+]n are hampered by major technical problems. Here we describe a new approach for selectively monitoring Ca2+ concentrations inside the nucleus of living cells, which is based on the construction of a chimeric cDNA encoding a fusion protein composed of the photoprotein aequorin and a nuclear translocation signal derived from the rat glucocorticoid receptor. This modified aequorin (nuAEQ), stably expressed in HeLa cells, was largely confined to the nucleoplasm and thus utilized for monitoring [Ca2+]n in intact cells. No significant differences were observed between [Ca2+]n and cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) under resting conditions. Upon stimulation of surface receptors linked to inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) generation, and thus to intracellular Ca2+ signalling, the kinetics of [Ca2+]i and [Ca2+]n increases were indistinguishable. However, for the same rise in [Ca2+]i, the amplitude of [Ca2+]n increase was larger when evoked by Ca2+ mobilization from internal stores than when induced by Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane. The functional significance of these transient nucleus-cytosol Ca2+ gradients is discussed.
