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

1. We investigated the properties of Ca2+-sensitive steps in the cycling of synaptic vesicles by comparing the actions of Ca2+, Ba2+ and Sr2+ in the synaptic terminal of depolarizing bipolar cells isolated from the retina of goldfish. FM1-43 fluorescence and capacitance measurements demonstrated that exocytosis, endocytosis and vesicle mobilization were maintained when external Ca2+ was replaced by either Ba2+ or Sr2+. 2. The rapidly releasable pool of vesicles (RRP) was equivalent to 1.5 % of the membrane surface area when measured in the presence of 2.5 mM Ca2+, but only 0.4 % in 2.5 mM Sr2+. The relative sizes of the RRP in Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+ were 1.0, 0.28 and 0.1, respectively. We conclude that a smaller proportion of docked vesicles are available for fast exocytosis triggered by the influx of Sr2+ or Ba2+ compared to Ca2+. 3. The slow phase of exocytosis was not altered when Ca2+ was replaced by Ba2+, but it was accelerated 1.6-fold in Sr2+. The peak concentrations of Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+ (measured using Mag-fura-5) were approximately 4, approximately 14 and approximately 60 microM, respectively. The order of efficiency for the stimulation of slow exocytosis was Ca2+ approximately Sr2+ > Ba2+. 4. Exocytosis was prolonged after the influx of Sr2+ and Ba2+. Sr2+ was cleared from the synaptic terminal with the same time constant as Ca2+ (1.3 s), but Ba2+ was cleared 10-100 times more slowly. Although Ba(2+) stimulates the slow release of a large number of vesicles, it did so less efficiently than Ca2+ or Sr2+. 5. The recovery of the membrane capacitance was equally rapid in Sr2+ and Ca2+, demonstrating that the fast mode of endocytosis could be triggered by either cation.
