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

When wounded, eukaryotic cells reseal in a few seconds. Ca(2+) influx induces exocytosis of lysosomes, a process previously thought to promote repair by 'patching' wounds. New evidence suggests that resealing involves direct wound removal. Exocytosis of lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) triggers endocytosis of lesions followed by intracellular degradation. Characterization of injury-induced endosomes revealed a role for caveolae, sphingolipid-enriched plasma membrane invaginations that internalize toxin pores and are abundant in mechanically stressed cells. These findings provide a novel mechanistic explanation for the muscle pathology associated with mutations in caveolar proteins. Membrane remodeling by the ESCRT complex was also recently shown to participate in small-wound repair, emphasizing that cell resealing involves previously unrecognized mechanisms for lesion removal that are distinct from the patch model.
