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

Intracellular membrane fusion requires Rab GTPases, tethers, SNAREs of the R, Qa, Qb, and Qc families, and SNARE chaperones of the Sec17 (SNAP), Sec18 (NSF), and SM (Sec1/Munc18) families. The vacuolar HOPS complex combines the functions of membrane tethering and SM catalysis of SNARE assembly. HOPS is activated for this catalysis by binding to the vacuolar lipids and Rab. Of the eight major vacuolar lipids, we now report that phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate are required to activate HOPS for SNARE complex assembly. These lipids plus ergosterol also allow full
