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

Synaptotagmin I is the major Ca²(+) sensor for membrane fusion during neurotransmitter release. The cytoplasmic domain of synaptotagmin consists of two C2 domains, C2A and C2B. On binding Ca²(+), the tips of the two C2 domains rapidly and synchronously penetrate lipid bilayers. We investigated the forces of interaction between synaptotagmin and lipid bilayers using single-molecule force spectroscopy. Glutathione-S-transferase-tagged proteins were attached to an atomic force microscope cantilever via a glutathione-derivatized polyethylene glycol linker. With wild-type C2AB, the force profile for a bilayer containing phosphatidylserine had both Ca²(+)-dependent and Ca²(+)-independent components. No force was detected when the bilayer lacked phosphatidylserine, even in the presence of Ca²(+). The binding characteristics of C2A and C2B indicated that the two C2 domains cooperate in binding synaptotagmin to the bilayer, and that the relatively weak Ca²(+)-independent force depends only on C2A. When the lysine residues K189-192 and K326, 327 were mutated to alanine, the strong Ca²(+)-dependent binding interaction was either absent or greatly reduced. We conclude that synaptotagmin binds to the bilayer via C2A even in absence of Ca²(+), and also that positively charged regions of both C2A and C2B are essential for the strong Ca²(+)-dependent binding of synaptotagmin to the bilayer.
