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

This report examines the inhibition of endosomal vesicle fusion by the alkylating agent N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). The concentration of NEM required to inhibit vesicle fusion depended upon whether membrane and cytosolic fractions were treated separately or together, enabling the resolution of at least two components to the inhibition. The first component is inactivated at low levels of NEM when cytosolic and membrane fractions are treated together. On the contrary, inhibition of the second component required higher levels of NEM but was achieved by treating cytosol and membranes separately. Reconstitution studies indicated that both components were cytosolic and that neither corresponded to the ubiquitous NEM-sensitive fusion protein (NSF). The role of NSF in this fusion reaction was further examined using salt-washed membranes depleted of NSF protein. Under these conditions the fusion reaction was fully dependent upon added NSF whose activity, in this context, was sensitive to NEM treatment. From these data we conclude that NSF activity during endosomal vesicle fusion can be dissected into several steps, only a subset of which (perhaps attachment of NSF to the membrane) are sensitive to NEM. Fusion between salt-washed endosomal membranes was also dependent on soluble NSF attachment proteins.
