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

The function of the Munc18-1 protein hydrophobic pocket, which interacts with the syntaxin-1 N-terminal peptide, has been highly controversial in neurosecretion. Recent analysis of patients with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis type 5 has identified the E132A mutation in the hydrophobic pocket of Munc18-2, prompting us to examine the role of this region in the context of immune cell secretion. Double knockdown of Munc18-1 and Munc18-2 in RBL-2H3 mast cells eliminates both IgE-dependent and ionomycin-induced degranulation and causes a significant reduction in syntaxin-11 without altering expressions of the other syntaxin isoforms examined. These phenotypes were effectively rescued on reexpression of wild-type Munc18-1 or Munc18-2 but not the mutants (F115E, E132A, and F115E/E132A) in the hydrophobic pocket of Munc18. In addition, these mutants show that they are unable to directly interact with syntaxin-11, as tested through protein interaction experiments. Our results demonstrate the crucial roles of the hydrophobic pocket of Munc18 in mast cell degranulation, which include the regulation of syntaxin-11. We also suggest that the functional importance of this region is significantly different between neuronal and immune cell exocytosis.
