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

Chromaffin granules are restrained in a dense cortical cytoskeleton before releasing their complex mix of active substances in response to cell stimulation. In recent years, the complex organization and dynamics of the chromaffin cell cortex has been unveiled through its analysis with a range of techniques to visualize this structure, including confocal fluorescence, transmitted light, and evanescent field microscopy. Accordingly, it has become apparent that the cortex is a dense F-actin mesh that contains open polygonal spaces through which vesicles can access the submembrane space. In addition to its retentive role, this structure also influences vesicle motion in both the resting state and during cell stimulation with secretagogues. During secretion, the chromaffin cell cortex undergoes a complex reorganization, helping to replenish the empty fast releasable pool of vesicles. Such changes in the cortical cytoskeleton and in the vesicle motion are governed by the activity of molecular motors, such as myosins II and Va. Interestingly, the F-actin/myosin II network also affects the final stages of exocytosis, which involve the opening and expansion of the fusion pore, and the extrusion of the vesicles contents.
