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 hypothesis that release of classical neurotransmitters and neuropeptides is facilitated by increasing the mobility of small synaptic vesicles (SSVs) and dense core vesicles (DCVs) could not be tested until the advent of methods for visualizing these secretory vesicles in living nerve terminals. In fact, fluorescence imaging studies have only since 2005 established that activity increases secretory vesicle mobility in motoneuron terminals and chromaffin cells. Mobilization of DCVs and SSVs appears to be due to liberation of hindered vesicles to promote quicker diffusion. However, F-actin and synapsin, which have been featured in mobilization models, are not required for activity-dependent increases in the mobility of DCVs or SSVs. Most recently, the signaling required for sustained mobilization has been identified for Drosophila motoneuron DCVs and shown to increase synaptic transmission. Specifically, presynaptic endoplasmic reticulum ryanodine receptor-mediated Ca2+ release activates Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II to mobilize DCVs and induce post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) of neuropeptide release in the Drosophila neuromuscular junction. The shared signaling for increasing vesicle mobility and PTP links vesicle mobilization and synaptic plasticity.
