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 biosynthesis of hormones and neuropeptides involves post-translational cleavage of precursors at basic amino acids by prohormone convertases (PCs) predominantly in secretory granules that bud from the trans-Golgi Network. This study reports that the amino acid sequence of PC3 (aa617-638), previously identified as a novel transmembrane (TM) domain, confers lipid raft association and facilitates sorting of the enzyme to the secretory granules of Neuro2A cells for prohormone cleavage. Floatation analysis on sucrose density gradients showed that a proportion of full length (PC3-FL) and carboxyl terminus-truncated PC3(1-638) (PC3-638) containing the TM domain were associated with lipid rafts in Neuro2A cells, while PC3(1-616) (PC3-616) and PC3-DeltaTM lacking the TM domain were not. Secondly, PC3-FL and PC3-638 underwent stimulated secretion and were shown to be colocalized with a secretory granule marker, chromogranin A, by immunocytochemistry. In contrast, PC3-616 and PC3-DeltaTM were constitutively secreted and primarily localized in the Golgi. These data indicate that the transmembrane domain of PC3 plays a key role in sorting the enzyme to the regulated secretory pathway.
