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

Insulin secretion is biphasic in response to a step in glucose stimulation. Recent experiments suggest that 2 different mechanisms operate during the 2 phases, with transient first-phase secretion due to exocytosis of docked granules but the second sustained phase due largely to newcomer granules. Another line of research has shown that there exist 2 pools of releasable granules with different Ca(2+) sensitivities. An immediately releasable pool (IRP) is located in the vicinity of Ca(2+) channels, whereas a highly Ca(2+)-sensitive pool (HCSP) resides mainly away from Ca(2+) channels. We extend a previous model of exocytosis and insulin release by adding an HCSP and show that the inclusion of this pool naturally leads to insulin secretion mainly from newcomer granules during the second phase of secretion. We show that the model is compatible with data from single cells on the HCSP and from stimulation of islets by glucose, including L- and R-type Ca(2+) channel knockouts, as well as from Syntaxin-1A-deficient cells. We also use the model to investigate the relative contribution of calcium signaling and pool depletion in controlling biphasic secretion.
