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

Digitonin-permeabilized chromaffin cells secrete catecholamines by exocytosis in response to micromolar Ca2+ concentrations, but lose the ability to secrete in response to Ca2+ as the cells lose soluble proteins through the plasma membrane pores. We have previously shown [Morgan and Burgoyne (1992) Nature, 355, 833-836] that cytosol can retard this loss of secretory competence and that two distinct stimulatory activities (Exo1 and Exo2) are present in cytosol. Here we report that Exo2 behaved as a single peak of activity through purification on hydroxyapatite, ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration and the activity correlated with a single polypeptide of approximately 44 kDa on SDS gels. Protein sequencing of this band revealed it to be the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Both cyclic AMP and the commercially available catalytic subunit of PKA stimulated exocytosis in a dose-dependent manner which was absolutely dependent on the presence of micromolar Ca2+. These data show that PKA (Exo2) regulates Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells.
