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

It is often assumed that only stably docked synaptic vesicles can fuse following presynaptic action potential stimulation. However, during action potential trains docking sites are increasingly depleted, raising the question of the source of synaptic vesicles during sustained release. We have recently developed methods to reliably measure release latencies during high frequency trains at single synapses between parallel fibers and molecular layer interneurons. The latency distribution exhibits a single fast component at train onset but contains both a fast and a slow component later in the train. The contribution of the slow component increases with stimulation frequency and with release probability and decreases when blocking the docking step with latrunculin. These results suggest that the slow component reflects sequential docking and release in immediate succession. The transition from fast to slow component, as well as a later transition to asynchronous release, appear as successive adaptations of the synapse to maintain fidelity at the expense of time accuracy.
