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

Vacuole fusion occurs in three stages: priming, in which Sec18p mediates Sec17p release, LMA1 (low M(r) activity 1) relocation, and cis-SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) complex disassembly; docking, mediated by Ypt7p and trans-SNARE association; and fusion of docked vacuoles. Ca(2+) and calmodulin regulate late stages of the reaction. We now show that the vacuole proton gradient, generated by the vacuolar proton ATPase, is needed for trans-SNARE complex formation during docking and hence for the subsequent LMA1 release. Though neither the vacuolar Pmc1p Ca(2+)-ATPase nor the Vcx1p Ca(2+)/H(+) exchanger are needed for the fusion reaction, they participate in Ca(2+) and Delta mu(H)(+) homeostasis. Fusion itself does not require the maintenance of trans-SNARE pairs.
