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

Biological amines-such as dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, octopamine, serotonin, and histamine-are stored at high concentrations within secretory vesicles, also referred to as "granules" in certain cell types, including mast cells, chromaffin cells, and platelets. Over the past decades, extensive knowledge has been gained regarding the biogenesis, composition, and function of chromaffin granules. This information can now be leveraged to understand amine storage mechanisms in other secretory systems, particularly in human platelets, which are readily accessible. Importantly, dysfunction of secretory vesicles has been implicated in several diseases, and vesicular defects may therefore be detectable in platelets obtained from well-characterized individuals. Such an approach offers significant potential for clinical and translational studies, as personalized functional information can be directly derived from patients. In this brief review, I focus on the vesicular mechanisms involved in biological amine accumulation and discuss the functional consequences of their disruption, with particular emphasis on chromaffin granules and platelet δ-granules.
