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

Munc13-1 is essential for vesicle docking and fusion at the active zone of synapses. Here, we report that Munc13-1 self-assembles into molecular clusters within diacylglycerol-rich microdomains present in phospholipid bilayers. Although the copy number of Munc13-1 molecules in these clusters has a broad distribution, a systematic Poisson analysis shows that this is most likely the result of two molecular species: monomers and mainly hexameric oligomers. Each oligomer is able to capture one vesicle independently. Hexamers have also been observed in crystals of Munc13-1 that form between opposed phospholipid bilayers [K. Grushin, R. V.
