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 t-SNARE complex plays a central role in neuronal fusion. Its components, syntaxin-1 and SNAP25, are largely present in individual clusters and partially colocalize at the presumptive fusion site. How these protein clusters modify local lipid composition and membrane morphology is largely unknown. In this work, using coarse-grained molecular dynamics, the transmembrane domains (TMDs) of t-SNARE complexes are shown to form aggregates leading to formation of lipid nanodomains, which are enriched in cholesterol, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, and gangliosidic lipids. These nano-domains induce membrane curvature that would promote a closer contact between vesicle and plasma membrane.
