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

Porosomes are proposed to be the universal secretory machinery of the cell plasma membrane, where membrane-bound secretory vesicles transiently dock and fuse to expel their contents to the extracellular space during cell secretion. In neurons, porosomes are manifested as cup-shaped lipoprotein structures in the presynaptic membrane, 12-17 nm in diameter and possessing a central plug. Hair cells of hearing and balance secrete transmitter from synaptic vesicles in sensory signal transduction, but it has not previously been demonstrated that these mechanosensory cells possess porosome structures that could participate in the secretory process. In the current study, we provide, for the first time, evidence obtained using transmission electron microscopy that porosome structures indeed exist in the hair cell, suggesting a mechanism of hair-cell transmitter secretion markedly different from that of the exocytotic process currently proposed.
