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

Changes in the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) are essential for triggering neurotransmitter release from presynaptic nerve terminals. Calcium-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) may amplify the [Ca(2+)](c) signals and facilitate neurotransmitter release in sympathetic neurons. In adrenal chromaffin cells, functional triads are formed by voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels (VOCCs), CICR sites and mitochondria. In fact, mitochondria take up most of the Ca(2+) load entering the cells and are essential for shaping [Ca(2+)](c) signals and exocytosis. Here we have investigated the existence of such functional triads in sympathetic neurons. The mitochondrial Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](m)) in soma and neurites of individual mouse superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons was monitored by bioluminescence imaging of targeted aequorins. In soma, Ca(2+) entry through VOCCs evoked rapid, near millimolar [Ca(2+)](m) increases in a subpopulation of mitochondria containing about 40% of the aequorin. Caffeine evoked a similar [Ca(2+)](m) increase in a mitochondrial pool containing about 30% of the aequorin and overlapping with the VOCC-sensitive pool. These observations suggest the existence of functional triads similar to the ones described in chromaffin cells. In neurites, mitochondria were able to buffer [Ca(2+)](c) increases resulting from activation of VOCCs but not those mediated by caffeine-induced Ca(2+) release from the ER. The weaker Ca(2+) buffering by mitochondria in neurites could contribute to facilitate Ca(2+)-induced exocytosis at the presynaptic sites.
