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

Neurotransmitter release normally requires calcium triggering. However, the somata of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons possess a calcium-independent but voltage-dependent secretion (CIVDS) in addition to the classic calcium-dependent secretion (CDS). Here, we investigated the physiological role of CIVDS and the contributions of CIVDS and CDS induced by action potentials (APs) in DRG soma. Using membrane capacitance measurements, caged calcium photolysis, and membrane capacitance kinetics analysis, we demonstrated that AP-induced secretion had both CIVDS and CDS components. Following physiological stimuli, the dominant component of AP-induced secretion was either CIVDS for spontaneous firing or CDS for high-intensity stimuli. AP frequency modulates CDS-coupled exocytosis and CIVDS-coupled endocytosis but not CIVDS-coupled exocytosis and CDS-coupled endocytosis. Finally, CIVDS did not contribute to excitatory postsynaptic currents induced by APs in DRG presynaptic terminals in the spinal cord. Thus, CIVDS is probably an essential physiological component of AP-induced secretion in the soma. These findings bring novel insights into primary sensory processes in DRG neurons.
