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 tomosyn/Sro7 family is thought to play an important role in cell surface trafficking both as an effector of Rab family GTPases and as a regulator of plasma-membrane SNARE function. Recent work has determined the binding site of GTP-bound Sec4 on Sro7. Here we examine the effect of mutations in Sro7 that block Sec4 binding in determining the role of this interaction in Sro7 function. Using an in vitro vesicle:vesicle tethering assay, we find that most of Sro7's ability to tether vesicles is blocked by mutations that disrupt binding to Sec4-GTP. Similarly, genetic analysis demonstrates that the interaction with Sec4 is important for most of Sro7's functions in vivo. The interaction of Sro7 with Sec4 appears to be particularly important when exocyst function is compromised. This provides strong evidence that Sro7 and the exocyst act as dual effector pathways downstream of Sec4. We also demonstrate that Sro7 tethering requires the presence of Sec4 on both opposing membranes and that homo-oligomerization of Sro7 occurs during vesicle tethering. This suggests a simple model for Sro7 function as a Rab effector in tethering post-Golgi vesicles to the plasma membrane in a pathway parallel to that of the exocyst complex.
