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

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations enable in silico investigation of the dynamic behavior of proteins and protein complexes. Here, we describe MD simulations of the SNARE bundle forming the complex with the neuronal proteins Synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1) and Complexin (Cpx). Syt1 is the synaptic vesicle (SV) protein that serves as the neuronal calcium sensor and triggers synaptic fusion upon calcium binding, and this process is promoted and accelerated by Cpx. The fusion depends on the Syt1 interactions with the SNARE-Cpx complex and with the lipid bilayer of the presynaptic membrane (PM). The MD simulations of the PM-Syt1-SNARE-Cpx-SV molecular system described here enabled us to investigate how this protein-lipid complex promotes the merging of SV and PM, triggering synaptic fusion.
