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

Secretory granules labeled with Vamp-green fluorescent protein (GFP) showed distinct signatures upon exocytosis when viewed by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. In approximately 90% of fusion events, we observed a large increase in fluorescence intensity coupled with a transition from a small punctate appearance to a larger, spreading cloud with free diffusion of the Vamp-GFP into the plasma membrane. Quantitation suggests that these events reflect the progression of an initially fused and spherical granule flattening into the plane of the plasma membrane as the Vamp-GFP simultaneously diffuses through the fusion junction. Approximately 10% of the events showed a transition from puncta to ring-like structures coupled with little or no spreading. The ring-like images correspond quantitatively to granules fusing and retaining concavity (recess of approximately 200 nm). A majority of fusion events involved granules that were present in the evanescent field for at least 12 s. However, approximately 20% of the events involved granules that were present in the evanescent field for no more than 0.3 s, indicating that the interaction of the granule with the plasma membrane that leads to exocytosis can occur within that time. In addition, approximately 10% of the exocytotic sites were much more likely to occur within a granule diameter of a previous event than can be accounted for by chance, suggestive of sequential (piggy-back) exocytosis that has been observed in other cells. Overall granule behavior before and during fusion is strikingly similar to exocytosis previously described in the constitutive secretory pathway.
