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 compartmentalization of eukaryotic cells is reliant on the fidelity of vesicle-mediated intracellular transport. Vesicles deliver their cargo via membrane fusion, a process requiring membrane tethers, Sec1/Munc18 (SM) proteins, and SNAREs. These components function in concert to ensure that membrane fusion is efficient and accurate, but the mechanisms underlying their cooperative action are still in many respects mysterious. In this brief review, we highlight recent progress toward a more integrative understanding of the vesicle fusion machinery. We focus particular attention on cryo-electron microscopy structures of intact multisubunit tethers in complex with SNAREs or SM proteins, as well as a structure of an SM protein bound to multiple SNAREs. The insights gained from this work emphasize the advantages of studying the fusion machinery intact and in context.
