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

Prohormone convertase 2 (PC2) is a neuroendocrine-specific protease involved in the intracellular maturation of prohormones and proneuropeptides. PC2 is synthesised as a proprotein (proPC2) that undergoes proteolysis, aggregation and membrane association during its transit through the regulated secretory pathway. We have previously shown that the pro region of proPC2 plays a key role in its aggregation and membrane association. To investigate this further, we determined the binding properties of a peptide containing amino acids 45-84 of proPC2 (proPC2(45-84)) to trans-Golgi network/granule-enriched membranes from the AtT20 cell line. Removal of peripheral membrane proteins or hydrolysis of integral membrane proteins did not affect the binding properties of proPC2(45-84). Rather, proPC2(45-84) was shown to bind to protein-free liposomes in a pH- and Ca(2+)-dependent manner. To identify the component of the lipid bilayer involved in this membrane association, we used chromaffin-granule membranes and studied the binding properties of the endogenous PC2. Treatment of the membranes with saponin, a cholesterol-depleting detergent, failed to extract PC2 from the membranes, whereas chromogranin A (CgA) was removed. Treatment of the membranes with Triton X-100 yielded a low-density detergent-insoluble fraction enriched in PC2, but not CgA. The detergent-insoluble fraction also contained glycoprotein III, known to be part of the lipid rafts (membrane microdomains rich in sphingolipids). Finally, sphingolipid depletion of AtT20 cells resulted in the mis-sorting of PC2, suggestive of a link between the association of PC2 with lipid rafts in the membrane and its sorting into the regulated secretory pathway.
