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

Endocytosis in nonneuronal cells requires gradual recruitment of proteins to endocytic sites for inducing membrane curvature and forming scaffolds around the neck of endocytic pits. This recruitment process is thought to be rate-limiting, requiring tens of seconds. In contrast, a form of endocytosis in neurons called ultrafast endocytosis is much faster, requiring only 100 ms. In this review, we compare the mechanisms of protein recruitment during clathrin-mediated endocytosis in nonneuronal cells and ultrafast endocytosis in neurons and discuss how endocytosis can complete within 100 ms. We then discuss the potential clinical relevance of this endocytic pathway.
