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

Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) form the SNARE complex to mediate most fusion events of the secretory pathway. The neuronal SNARE complex is featured by its high stability and half-zippered conformation required for driving robust and fast synaptic exocytosis. However, these two features seem to be thermodynamically mutually exclusive. In this study, we have employed temperature-dependent disassociation assays and single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments to analyze the stability and conformation of the neuronal SNARE complex. We reclassified the amino acids of the SNARE motif into four sub-groups (core, core-side I and II, and non-contact). Our data showed that the core residues predominantly contribute to the complex stability to meet a basal requirement for SNARE-mediated membrane fusion, while the core-side residues exert an unbalanced effect on the N- and C-half bundle stability that determines the half-zippered conformation of the neuronal SNARE complex, which would accommodate essential regulations by complexins and synaptotagmins for fast Ca
