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

Synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1) is a major calcium sensor for rapid neurotransmitter release in neurons and hormone release in many neuroendocrine cells. It possesses two tandem cytosolic C2 domains that bind calcium, negatively charged phospholipids, and the neuronal SNARE complex. Calcium binding to Syt1 triggers exocytosis, but how this occurs is not well understood. Syt1 has additional roles in docking dense-core vesicles (DCVs) and synaptic vesicles to the plasma membrane and in regulating fusion pore dynamics. Thus, Syt1 perturbations could affect release through vesicle docking, fusion triggering, fusion pore regulation, or a combination of these. Here, using a human neuroendocrine cell line, we show that neutralization of highly conserved polybasic patches in either C2 domain of Syt1 impairs both DCV docking and efficient release of serotonin from DCVs. Interestingly, the same mutations resulted in larger fusion pores and faster release of serotonin during individual fusion events. Thus, Syt1's roles in vesicle docking, fusion triggering, and fusion pore control may be functionally related.
