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

Vesicular secretion is a fundamental process in the body with vesicle fusion releasing vesicle contents to the outside. This process called exocytosis is usually thought of as leading to an all-or-none release of content; regulation of secretory output dependent on regulating the numbers of fused vesicles. However, it is well established that the fusion pore that forms when the vesicle membrane fuses with the cell membrane is dynamic. More recent evidence indicates the dynamic opening and closing, and the size of the fusion pore, are limiting factors to the release of vesicle content. What remains unclear is whether these fusion pore behaviors are under cellular control and therefore relevant to cell physiology.Accumulating evidence over the last two years points to myosin 2 as one regulator of fusion pore behavior. This is interesting since myosin 2 activity is in turn controlled by kinases and phosphatases, well known to be under cellular control. We conclude that fusion pore behavior is likely a genuine control point for vesicle content release. This leads to a model for secretion with secretory output controlled not only by the numbers of vesicles fused but also by the regulation of the behavior of individual vesicles.
