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 nuclear pore complexes on the nuclear membrane serve as the exclusive gateway for communication between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, regulating the transport of various molecules, including nucleic acids and proteins. The present work investigates the kinetics of the transport of negatively charged graphene quantum dots through nuclear membranes, focusing on quantifying their transport characteristics. Experiments are carried out in permeabilized HeLa cells using time-lapse confocal fluorescence microscopy. Our findings indicate that negatively charged graphene quantum dots exhibit rapid transport to the nuclei, involving two distinct transport pathways in the translocation process. Complementary experiments on the nuclear import and export of graphene quantum dots validate the bi-directionality of transport, as evidenced by comparable transport rates. The study also shows that the negatively charged graphene quantum dots possess favorable retention properties, underscoring their potential as drug carriers.
