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 import of proteins into the nucleus is a poorly understood process that is thought to require soluble cytosolic factors in vertebrates and yeast. To test this model in plants and to identify components of the import apparatus, we developed a direct in vitro nuclear import assay by using tobacco protoplasts that were permeabilized without detergents such as digitonin or Triton X-100. Substrates were imported specifically by a mechanism that required only guanine nucleotides. Moreover, in vitro import did not require exogenous cytosol. To investigate this novel finding, we isolated a full-length cDNA encoding an Arabidopsis homolog of vertebrate and yeast nuclear localization signal receptors and produced an affinity-purified antibody. The plant receptor was tightly associated with cellular components in permeabilized protoplasts, even in the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100, indicating that this factor and probably others were retained to an extent sufficient to support import. The lectin wheat germ agglutinin bound to the nucleus; however, it did not block translocation in our system, indicating that direct interaction with polysaccharide modifications at the nuclear pore complex was probably not essential for import in plants. Other features of in vitro import included reduced but significant import at low temperature.
