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

Morphological studies have established that peripheral heterochromatin is closely associated with the nuclear envelope. The tight coupling of the two structures has been attributed to nuclear lamins and lamin-associated proteins; however, it remains to be determined which of these elements are essential and which play an auxiliary role in nuclear envelope-chromatin interactions. To address this question, we have used as a model system in vitro reconstituted vesicles assembled from octyl glucoside-solubilized nuclear envelopes. Comparing the chromosome binding properties of normal, immunodepleted and chemically extracted vesicles, we have arrived at the conclusion that the principal chromatin anchorage site at the nuclear envelope is the lamin B receptor (LBR), a ubiquitous integral protein of the inner nuclear membrane. Consistent with this interpretation, purified LBR binds directly to chromatin fragments and decorates the surface of chromosomes in a distinctive banding pattern.
