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

Amperometry in chromaffin cells expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) have been used to test the involvement of single amino acids in exocytotic function, overcoming some of the limitations of studies based on Botulinum neurotoxin cleavage, as this occurs at defined sites of the protein. Constructs containing either the whole SNAP-25 polypeptide or several deleted forms lacking its C-terminal domain were heavily overexpressed in transfected cells. All GFP-fusions were located in both the cytoplasm and the plasma membrane. Although a construct containing complete SNAP-25 sustained normal secretion, removal of four or more amino acids of its C terminus greatly altered the overall rate and extent of exocytosis. Further mutational analysis proved that Leu203, the fourth residue from the C terminus, is critical for secretion. Kinetics of single granule fusions from cells expressing truncated forms showed slow onset and decay times when compared with control cells expressing full SNAP-25. Thus, these data provide direct evidence for the involvement of a specific residue of SNAP-25 in exocytosis and show that overexpression of GFP-SNAP contructs combined with single vesicle fusion measurements constitutes a powerful approach to dissect the structural elements playing a role in individual steps of the exocytotic cascade.
