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

The quantal hypothesis states that neurotransmitter is released in discrete packages, quanta, thought to represent the neurotransmitter content of individual vesicles. If true, then vesicle size should influence quantal size. Although chromaffin cells are generally thought to have a single population of secretory vesicles, our electron microscopy analysis suggested two populations as the size distribution was best described as the sum of two Gaussians. The average volume difference was fivefold. To test whether this difference in volume affected quantal size, neurotransmitter release from permeabilized cells exposed to 100 microM Ca2+ was measured with amperometry. Quantal content was bimodally distributed with both large and small events; the distribution of vesicle sizes predicted by amperometry was extremely similar to those measured with electron microscopy. In addition, each population of events exhibited distinct release kinetics. These results suggest that chromaffin cells have two populations of dense core vesicles (DCV) with unique secretory properties and which may represent two distinct synthetic pathways for DCV biogenesis or alternatively they may represent different stages of biosynthesis.
