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 vesicle priming protein Munc13-1 is regulated by diacylglycerol (DAG) and is therefore hypothesized to play a role in the control of neurotransmitter release by phospholipase C (PLC)-coupled receptors. We combined voltage-clamp recordings of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs) and high-resolution capacitance measurements to investigate the mechanism of receptor-mediated modulation of exocytosis in bovine chromaffin cells. Activation of endogenous H1 G(q)-protein-coupled receptors (G(q)PCRs) by histamine potentiated stimulus-coupled secretion despite concurrently inhibiting Ca2+ influx through VGCCs. Histamine increased the size of the readily releasable pool of vesicles and in particular a subpool of fusion-competent vesicles localized in close proximity to VGCCs. Pharmacological characterization showed that potentiation of exocytosis depended on the activation of PLC but not protein kinase C. Overexpression of wild-type Munc13-1 by adenoviral infection had no effect on histamine-induced potentiation per se, whereas DAG-insensitive Munc13-1(H567K) completely abolished it. This is the first endogenous mammalian G(q)PCR signaling pathway identified that engages Munc13-1 to increase stimulus-coupled secretion by recruiting vesicles to the immediately releasable pool. G(q)PCRs are therefore able to control exocytosis at the level of SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) complex formation to produce rapid, short-term potentiation of the secretory output of neurons and endocrine cells.
