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

Before secretory vesicles undergo exocytosis, they must recruit the proteins syntaxin-1 and synaptosomal associated protein 25 (SNAP-25) in the plasma membrane. GFP-labeled versions of both proteins cluster at sites where secretory granules have docked. Single-particle tracking shows that minority populations of both molecules are strongly hindered in their mobility, consistent with their confinement in nanodomains. We measured the fluorescence of granule-associated clusters, the fluorescence of single molecules, and the numbers of unlabeled syntaxin-1 and SNAP-25 molecules per cell. There was a more than 10-fold excess of SNAP-25 over syntaxin-1. Fifty to seventy copies each of syntaxin-1 and SNAP-25 molecules were associated with a single docked granule, many more than have been reported to be required for fusion.
