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

Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI(3)P) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P(2)) are essential for rapid SNARE-dependent fusion of yeast vacuoles and other organelles. These phosphoinositides also regulate the fusion of reconstituted proteoliposomes. The reconstituted reaction allows separate analysis of phosphoinositide-responsive subreactions: fusion with SNAREs alone, with the addition of the HOPS tethering factor, and with the further addition of the SNARE complex disassembly chaperones Sec17p and Sec18p. Using assays of membrane tethering, trans-SNARE pairing, and lipid mixing, we found that PI(3)P and PI(4,5)P(2) have distinct functions that are asymmetric with respect to R-SNARE (Nyv1p) and the 3Q-SNAREs (Vam3p, Vti1p, and Vam7p). Fusion reactions with the Q-SNAREs and R-SNARE on separate membranes showed that PI(3)P has two distinct functions. PI(3)P on Q-SNARE proteoliposomes promoted Vam7p binding and association with the other two Q-SNAREs. PI(3)P on R-SNARE proteoliposomes was recognized by the PX domain of Vam7p on Q-SNARE proteoliposomes to promote tethering, although this function could be supplanted by the tethering activity of HOPS. PI(4,5)P(2) stimulated fusion when it was on R-SNARE proteoliposomes, apposed to Q-SNARE proteoliposomes bearing PI(3)P. These functions are essential for the phosphoinositide-dependent synergy between HOPS and Sec17p/Sec18p in promoting rapid fusion.
