Upregulation of synaptotagmin IV inhibits transmitter release in PC12 cells with targeted synaptotagmin I knockdown.
Article in BMC neuroscience, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe function of synaptotagmins (syt) in Ca2+-dependent transmitter release has been attributed primarily to Ca2+-dependent isoforms such as syt I. Recently, syt IV, an inducible Ca2+-independent isoform has been implicated in transmitter release. We postulated that the effects of syt IV on transmitter release are dependent on the expression of syt I.
resultsTo test this, we increased syt IV expression in PC12 cells by either upregulation with forskolin treatment or overexpression with transfection. Two separately generated stable PC12 cell lines with syt I expression abolished by RNAi targeting were used and compared to control cells. We measured catecholamine release from single vesicles by amperometry and neuropeptide Y release from populations of cells by an immunoassay. In syt I targeted cells with forskolin-induced syt IV upregulation, amperometry measurements showed a reduction in the number of release events and the total amount of transmitter molecules released per cell. In cells with syt IV overexpressed, similar amperometry results were obtained, except that the rate of expansion for full fusion was slowed. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) release from syt I knockdown cells was decreased, and overexpression of syt IV did not rescue this effect.
conclusionsThese data support an inhibitory effect of syt IV on release of vesicles and their transmitter content. The effect became more pronounced when syt I expression was abolished.
