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

During synaptic vesicle (SV) recycling, the vacuolar-type H(+) ATPase creates a proton electrochemical gradient (ΔμH(+)) that drives neurotransmitter loading into SVs. Given the low estimates of free luminal protons, it has been envisioned that the influx of a limited number of protons suffices to establish ΔμH(+). Consistent with this, the time constant of SV re-acidification was reported to be <5 s, much faster than glutamate loading (τ of ∼ 15 s) and thus unlikely to be rate limiting for neurotransmitter loading. However, such estimates have relied on pHluorin-based probes that lack sensitivity in the lower luminal pH range. Here, we reexamined re-acidification kinetics using the mOrange2-based probe that should report the SV pH more accurately. In recordings from cultured mouse hippocampal neurons, we found that re-acidification took substantially longer (τ of ∼ 15 s) than estimated previously. In addition, we found that the SV lumen exhibited a large buffering capacity (∼ 57 mm/pH), corresponding to an accumulation of ∼ 1200 protons during re-acidification. Together, our results uncover hitherto unrecognized robust proton influx and storage in SVs that can restrict the rate of neurotransmitter refilling.
