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

Nonvisual arrestins, also known as Beta-arrestins, are known for their diverse role in GPCR signal transduction. Here, we present evidence that Beta-Arrestin-2, a protein whose nuclear concentration is actively kept low, binds to Nucleolar Organizing Regions (NORs) on the metaphase chromosomes at the onset of cell division, after the disappearance of the nuclear membrane and stays bound therein in the daughter cells. After reformation of the nucleoli, it stays bound to the nucleoli until actively transported out of the reformed nucleus during interphase. This binding is unique for Beta-Arrestin-2, as the closely associated Beta-Arrestin-1 does not show this behavior at all. We also observed an intranuclear accumulation of Beta-Arrestin-2 after P2X7 receptor stimulation, similar to what has been described for Beta-Arrestin-2 after TRPV receptor stimulation. Present data identify a cyclic and well-organized shuttling between NORs and the cytoplasm of Beta-Arrestin-2 during cell division, indicating a novel and unknown role for Beta-Arrestin-2 in cell physiology. Our data may also indicate a common intracellular signaling mechanism for a diverse group of receptors currently believed to function only as ligand-gated channels (P2X7 and TRPV).
