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

Sustained phagocytosis requires the continuous replacement of cell-surface membrane from intracellular sources. Depending on the nature of the engulfed particles, a variety of endocytic compartments have been demonstrated to contribute membranes needed for the formation of phagosomes. It has recently been reported that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) can also fuse with the plasma membrane during phagocytosis [Gagnon, E., Duclos, S., Rondeau, C., Chevet, E., Cameron, P. H., Steele-Mortimer, O., Paiement, J., Bergeron, J. J. & Desjardins, M. (2002) Cell 110, 119-131]. However, there is currently no known mechanistic basis for this fusion process to occur. Here we report that direct ER-plasma membrane fusion during phagocytosis requires the ER resident soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) protein ERS24/Sec22b and that J774-macrophages react toward the challenge of large (3.0-microm) but not small (0.8-microm) particles by triggering this fusion mechanism, allowing them to access the most abundant endogenous membrane source in the cell, the ER.
