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

Exocytosis releases vesicular cargo to the extracellular space and adds membrane to the cell surface, whereas endocytosis retrieves membrane and internalizes extracellular material; together, they maintain membrane homeostasis and enable rapid intercellular signaling. Super-resolution imaging has revealed that these processes are far richer than the classical "kiss-and-run vs. full-collapse" or flat-to-round schemes. Exocytosis now encompasses at least seven fusion modes with reversible pores, vesicle shrinking or enlargement, and compound or sequential compound fusion, while endocytosis proceeds mainly via modular flat→Λ→Ω→O transitions and rapid closure of preformed Ω-profiles. These dynamic transformations are orchestrated by Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor Attachment protein REceptors, Ca
