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

Influenza virus nucleoprotein (NP) shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. A nuclear localization signal (NLS) has been identified in NP at amino acids 327 to 345 (J. Davey et al., Cell 40:667-675, 1985). However, some NP mutants that lack this region still localize to the nucleus, suggesting an additional NLS in NP. We therefore investigated the nucleocytoplasmic transport of NP from influenza virus A/WSN/33 (H1N1). NP deletion constructs lacking the 38 N-terminal amino acids, as well as those lacking the 38 N-terminal amino acids and the previously identified NLS, localized to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Nuclear localization of a protein containing amino acids 1 to 38 of NP fused to LacZ proved that these 38 amino acids function as an NLS. Within this region, we identified two basic amino acids, Lys7 and Arg8, that are crucial for NP nuclear import. After being imported into the nucleus, the wild-type NP and the NP-LacZ fusion construct containing amino acids 1 to 38 of NP were both transported back to the cytoplasm, where they accumulated. These data indicate that NP has intrinsic structural features that allow nuclear import, nuclear export, and cytoplasmic accumulation in the absence of any other viral proteins. Further, the information required for nuclear import and export is located in the 38 N-terminal amino acids of NP, although other NP nuclear export signals may exist. Treatment of cells with a protein kinase C inhibitor increased the amounts of nuclear NP, whereas treatment of cells with a phosphorylation stimulator increased the amounts of cytoplasmic NP. These findings suggest a role of phosphorylation in nucleocytoplasmic transport of NP.
