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

Munc18-1 was originally described as an essential docking factor in chromaffin cells. Recent findings showed that Munc18-1 has an additional role in the regulation of the cortical F-actin network, which is thought to function as a physical barrier preventing secretory vesicles from access to their release sites under resting conditions. In our review, we discuss whether this function is evolutionarily conserved in all Sec1/Munc18-like (SM) proteins. In addition, we introduce a new quantification method that improves the analysis of cortical filamentous actin (F-actin) in comparison with existing methods. Since the docking process is highly evolutionarily conserved in the SM protein superfamily, we use our novel quantification method to investigate whether the F-actin-regulating function is similarly conserved among SM proteins. Our preliminary data suggest that the regulation of cortical F-actin is a shared function of SM proteins, and we propose a way to gain more insight in the molecular mechanism underlying the Munc18-1-mediated cortical F-actin regulation.
