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

We have shown previously that fusion between pancreatic zymogen granules and plasma membranes is stimulated by a peptide corresponding to the putative effector domain of rab3. Here we show that this stimulatory effect persists when the amino acid sequence of the peptide is substantially modified. We also show that an antibody raised against rab3a recognizes a protein of appropriate size on the zymogen-granule membrane, but has no effect on membrane fusion. We suggest that rab3 is not directly involved in the control of this membrane fusion event, and that the peptides are stimulating fusion by a mechanism unrelated to rab3.
