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

Homotypic vacuole fusion occurs by sequential priming, docking and fusion reactions. Priming frees the HOPS complex (Vps 11, 16, 18, 33, 39 and 41) to activate Ypt7p for docking. Here we explore the roles of the GDP and GTP states of Ypt7p using Gdi1p (which extracts Ypt7:GDP), Gyp7p (a GTPase-activating protein for Ypt7p:GTP), GTPgammaS or GppNHp (non-hydrolyzable nucleotides), and mutant forms of Ypt7p that favor either GTP or GDP states. GDP-bound Ypt7p on isolated vacuoles can be extracted by Gdi1p, although only the GTP-bound state allows docking. Ypt7p is converted to the GTP-bound state after priming and stably associates with HOPS. Gyp7p can cause Ypt7p to hydrolyze bound GTP to GDP, driving HOPS release and accelerating Gdi1p-mediated release of Ypt7p. Ypt7p extraction does not inhibit the Ca(2+)-triggered cascade that leads to fusion. However, in the absence of Ypt7p, fusion is still sensitive to GTPgammaS and GppNHp, indicating that there is a second specific GTPase that regulates the calcium flux and hence fusion. Thus, two GTPases sequentially govern vacuole docking and fusion.
