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

Synaptic vesicles are central to neurotransmission and cognition. Studies of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) associated peptide, amyloid beta (Abeta), suggest that it has the potential to non-specifically solubilize or permeabilize membranes and that it has detergent and pore-forming properties. Damage to the membrane or integrity of synaptic vesicles could compromise its function. We test the hypothesis that the intact synaptic vesicle is a direct site of attack by Abeta1-42 in AD pathology by examining the properties of individual isolated vesicles exposed to Abeta1-42. In particular, we compared the rate of leakage of dye molecules from synaptic vesicles, the rate of proton permeation across the membrane of the vesicle, and the rate of active proton transport into the vesicle interior in the presence and absence of Abeta1-42. From these experiments, we conclude that isolated synaptic vesicles are not disrupted by Abeta1-42.
