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

Neurotransmitter release requires vesicle recycling, which consists of exocytosis, endocytosis and the reformation of new fusion-competent vesicles. One poorly understood aspect in this cycle is the fate of the vesicle proteins after exocytosis, when they are left on the plasma membrane. Such proteins are often visualized by coupling to pH-sensitive GFP moieties (pHluorins). However, pHluorin imaging is typically limited by diffraction to spots several-fold larger than the vesicles. Here we show that pHuorin-tagged vesicle proteins can be easily detected using single-domain antibodies (nanobodies) raised against GFP. By coupling the nanobodies to chemical fluorophores that were optimal for super-resolution imaging, we could analyze the size and intensity of the groups of pHluorin-tagged proteins under a variety of conditions, in a fashion that would have been impossible based solely on the pHluorin fluorescence. We conclude that nanobody-based pHluorin detection is a promising tool for investigating post-exocytosis events in neurons.
