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 begun to dissect the import apparatus of higher plants by examining the specific association of nuclear localization sequences (NLSs) with purified plant nuclei. Peptides to the simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen NLS and a bipartite NLS of maize were allowed to associate with tobacco and maize nuclei. Wild-type NLSs were found to compete for a single class of low-affinity binding sites having a dissociation constant (Kd) of approximately 200 microM. Peptides to mutant NLSs, which are inefficient in stimulating import, were poor competitors, as were reverse wild-type and non-NLS peptides. The NLS binding site was proteinaceous and resistant to extraction under conditions where pores were still associated. In addition, immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy indicated that binding was at the nuclear envelope. Overall, plant nuclei may be an excellent system to identify components of the import apparatus.
