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 report on the effect of different doses and times of incubation of the cytostatic drug actinomycin D (AMD) on nucleolar morphology, rRNA gene transcription and rDNA gene localization using in situ hybridization and the immunocytochemical detection of the human upstream binding factor (UBF) at the electron microscopic level in HeLa cells. Low doses of AMD (0.001 micrograms/ml, 30 min) selectively block rRNA gene transcription but alter neither nucleolar morphology nor the localization of rDNA with respect to the nucleolar components. Treatment with high doses of AMD (0.05 micrograms/ml, 1 h) resulted in a retraction of the rDNA out of the nucleolus in addition to the well-known blocking of rDNA transcription, total nuclear transcription and nucleolar segregation. Under these conditions accumulations of rDNA were found in patches of chromatin at the nucleolar periphery. We conclude that the blocking of rRNA gene transcription and the changes in nucleolar morphology, both induced by AMD at different doses, are independent phenomena.
