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 previously characterized the processing of secretogranin II (SgII) in PC12 cells that were stably transfected with the endopeptidase PC2. Here we show that processing of SgII can be observed in isolated immature secretory granules (ISGs) derived from this cell line in a temperature- and ATP-dependent manner. The stimulatory effect of ATP on processing can be attributed to the activation of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase and a concomitant decrease in intragranular pH. The immature secretory granule therefore provides an adequate environment for correct processing of SgII by PC2. The rate of SgII processing was strongly dependent on the intragranular pH, suggesting that processing of SgII can be used as a pH indicator for the granule interior. A standard curve was prepared using SgII processing in ISGs equilibrated at a range of pH values. The extent of processing in ISGs incubated in the presence of ATP at physiological pH was compared with the standard curve, and the intragranular pH was determined. From these observations, we propose an intragranular pH of 6.3 +/- 0.1 for ISGs in a physiological buffer in the presence of ATP. Hence, the pH of ISGs seems to be similar to the pH of the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and is clearly higher than the pH of mature secretory granules (pH 5.0-5.5). Interestingly, no processing of SgII could be observed in a membrane fraction that is highly enriched in TGN under conditions for which processing was readily obtained in isolated ISGs.
