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

All neurotransmitter and hormone regulated secretory events involve the action of three soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins, syntaxin, SNAP-25, and synaptobrevin. The SNARE proteins interact to form a four alpha-helical complex, involving syntaxin and SNAP-25 on the plasma membrane and synaptobrevin on the vesicular membrane, bringing the opposing membranes together, promoting bilayer merger and membrane fusion. The process of regulated secretion is an adaptation of the membrane fusion events which occur at multiple steps throughout the intracellular trafficking pathway, in each case catalyzed by SNARE protein isoforms. At all of these locations, the SNAREs are joined by a member of the Sec1p/Munc18 (SM) protein family which selectively bind to syntaxin isoforms. From their initial identification, the SM proteins were known to be essential for membrane fusion, however, over the intervening decades, deciphering the precise mechanism of action of the SM proteins has proved problematic. Recent studies, investigating the interactions of munc18-1 and syntaxin1, provide an explanation for previous, apparently conflicting, observations yielding a new understanding of their cellular functions.
