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

Exocytosis is the final event in the secretory pathway and requires the fusion of the secretory vesicle membrane with the plasma membrane. It results in the release to the outside of vesicle cargo from the cell interior and also the delivery of vesicle membrane and proteins to the plasma membrane. An electrophysiological assay that measures changes in membrane capacitance has recently been used to monitor exocytosis in plants. This complements information derived from earlier light and electron microscope studies, and allows both transient and irreversible fusion of single exocytotic vesicles to be followed with high resolution in protoplasts. It also provides a tool to investigate bulk exocytotic activity in single protoplasts under the influence of cytoplasmic modulators. This research highlights the role of intracellular Ca2+, GTP and pressure in the control of exocytosis in plants. In parallel to these functional studies, plant proteins with the potential to regulate exocytosis are being identified by molecular analysis. In this review we describe these electrophysiological and molecular advances, and emphasise the need for parallel biochemical work to provide a complete picture of the mechanisms controlling vesicle fusion at the plasma membrane of plant cells.
