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

Adenovirus targets its genome to the cell nucleus by a multistep process involving endocytosis, membrane penetration and cytoplasmic transport, and finally imports its DNA into the nucleus. Using an immunochemical and biochemical approach combined with inhibitors of nuclear import, we demonstrate that incoming viral DNA and DNA-associated protein VII enter the nucleus via nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). Depletion of calcium from nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum cisternae by ionophores or thapsigargin blocked DNA and protein VII import into the nucleus, but had no effect on virus targeting to NPCs. Calcium-depleted cells were capable of disassembling incoming virus. In contrast, inhibitors of cytosolic O-linked glycoproteins of the NPC blocked virus attachment to the nuclear envelope, capsid disassembly and also nuclear import of protein VII. The data indicate that NPCs have multiple roles in adenovirus entry into cells: they contain a virus-binding and/or dissociation activity and provide a gateway for the incoming DNA genome into the nucleus.
