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

The critical protein Munc13 serves numerous roles in the docking and priming of synaptic vesicles. On the presynaptic plasma membrane, Munc13 is organized into nanoclusters corresponding to release sites where synaptic vesicles dock and fuse. However, it is currently not known whether there is any organization of Munc13 monomers within the nanoclusters. Recent work suggests that Munc13 may spontaneously self-organize into homo-oligomers, raising the possibility that synaptic nanoclusters comprise organized assemblies of Munc13. Here we investigate the functional impact of two distinct Munc13 core domain oligomers comprising C1-C2B-MUN-C2C both in vitro and in vivo. Interface mutations that specifically destabilized oligomeric assemblies of Munc13 disrupted vesicle docking, trans-SNARE formation, and Ca
