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

The Ca2+- and phospholipid-binding protein synaptotagmin is involved in neuroexocytosis. Its precise role and Ca2+-affinity in vivo are unclear. We investigated its putative function in insulin secretion which is maximally stimulated by 10 microM cytosolic free Ca2+. The well-characterized synaptotagmin isoforms I and II are present in pancreatic beta-cell lines RINm5F, INS-1 and HIT-T15 as shown by Northern and Western blots. Subcellular fractionation and confocal microscopy revealed their presence mainly on insulin-containing secretory granules whereas only minor amounts were found on synaptic vesicle-like microvesicles. Antibodies or Fab-fragments directed against the Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding site of the first C2 domain of synaptotagmin I or II inhibited Ca2+-stimulated, but not GTPgammaS-induced exocytosis from streptolysin-O-permeabilized INS-1 and HIT-T15 cells. Transient expression of wild-type synaptotagmin II did not alter exocytosis in HIT-T15 cells. However, mutations in the Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding site of the first C2 domain (Delta180-183, D231S) again inhibited only Ca2+-, but not GTPgammaS-evoked exocytosis. In contrast, mutations in the IP4-binding sites of the second C2 domain (Delta325-341; K327,328, 332Q) did not alter exocytosis. Synaptotagmin II mutated in both C2 domains (Delta180-183/K327,328,332Q) induced greater inhibition than mutant Delta180-183, suggesting a discrete requirement for the second C2 domain. Thus, synaptotagmin isoforms regulate exocytotic events occurring at low micromolar Ca2+.
