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

Synaptotagmin I (syt), an integral protein of the synaptic vesicle membrane, is believed to act as a Ca2+ sensor for neuronal exocytosis. Syt's cytoplasmic domain consists largely of two C2 domains, C2A and C2B. In response to Ca2+ binding, the C2 domains interact with membranes, becoming partially embedded in the lipid bilayer. We have imaged syt C2AB in association with lipid bilayers under fluid, using AFM. As expected, binding of C2AB to bilayers required both an anionic phospholipid [phosphatidylserine (PS)] and Ca2+. C2AB associated with bilayers in the form of aggregates of varying stoichiometries, and aggregate size increased with an increase in PS content. Repeated scanning of bilayers revealed that as C2AB dissociated it left behind residual indentations in the bilayer. The mean depth of these identations was 1.81 nm, indicating that they did not span the bilayer. Individual C2 domains (C2A and C2B) also formed aggregates and produced bilayer indentations. Binding of C2AB to bilayers and the formation of indentations were significantly compromised by mutations that interfere with binding of Ca2+ to syt or reduce the positive charge on the surface of C2B. We propose that bilayer perturbation by syt might be significant with respect to its ability to promote membrane fusion.
