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

Contacts between the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane involve extended synaptotagmins (E-Syts) in mammals or tricalbins in yeast, proteins with multiple C₂ domains. One of the tandem C₂ domains of E-Syt2 is predicted to bind Ca²⁺, but no Ca²⁺-dependent function has been attributed to this protein. We have determined the crystal structures of the tandem C₂ domains of E-Syt2 in the absence and presence of Ca²⁺ and analyzed their Ca²⁺-binding properties by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Our data reveal an unexpected V-shaped structure with a rigid orientation between the two C₂ domains that is not substantially altered by Ca²⁺. The E-Syt2 C2A domain binds up to four Ca²⁺ ions, whereas the C₂B domain does not bind Ca²⁺. These results suggest that E-Syt2 performs an as yet unidentified Ca²⁺-dependent function through its C₂A domain and uncover fundamental differences between the properties of the tandem C₂ domains of E-Syts and synaptotagmins.
