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

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of small, hydrophobic, integral membrane proteins. In mammals, they are expressed in many epithelia and endothelia and function as channels that permit water or small solutes to pass. Although the AQPs reside constitutively at the plasma membrane in most cell types, the presence of AQPs in intracellular organelles such as secretory granules and vesicles has currently been demonstrated. The secretory granules and vesicles contain secretory proteins, migrate to particular locations within the cell close to the plasma membrane and release their contents to the outside. During the process, including exocytosis, regulation of secretory granule or vesicle volume is important. This paper reviews the possible role of AQPs in secretory granules and vesicles.
