SNARE proteins are not excessive for the formation of post-Golgi SNARE complexes in HeLa cells.

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.
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
To evaluate the role of SNARE proteins in the constitutive exocytosis, we knocked down syntaxin 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and VAMP3, 5, 7, 8 with their siRNAs, and determined the cell-to-medium ratio of CLuc, a secreted luciferase of Cypridina noctiluca. Although the protein level of SNAREs in HeLa cells was markedly reduced by the siRNA treatment, the cell/medium ratio was scarcely increased by any siRNAs except for syntaxin 5. The accumulation of GFP-tagged human growth hormone was also visible only by the knockdown of syntaxin 5. To examine whether the residual amount of SNAREs are sufficient for maintaining normal constitutive exocytosis, we estimated the effect of siRNAs on the level of post-Golgi SNARE complexes containing syntaxin 4, SNAP23, and VAMP3 or VAMP8. The amount of SNARE complexes was robustly decreased by siRNAs and was well correlated with the residual amount of SNAREs in the lysates, suggesting that SNAREs are unnecessarily excessive for the formation of post-Golgi SNARE complexes in HeLa cells.
