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

We tested the hypothesis that the probability of vesicular exocytosis at synapses is positively correlated with the pools of readily releasable synaptic vesicles, as shown for mammalian neurons grown in tissue culture. We compared synapses of two identified glutamatergic neurons: phasic (high-output, depressing) and tonic (low-output, facilitating) crustacean motor neurons, which differ 100- to 1000-fold in quantal content. Estimates of vesicles available for exocytosis were made from depletion during forced release and from electron microscopic observation of vesicles docked at synaptic membranes near active zones. Both measurements showed a significantly larger pool of readily releasable vesicles in facilitating synapses, despite their much lower quantal output during stimulation. Thus, the probability for release of docked vesicles is very much lower at facilitating synapses, and the presence of more docked vesicles does not predict higher synaptic release probability in these paired excitatory neurons.
