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

A dedicated dynamic light scattering (DLS) setup was employed to study the undulations of freely suspended planar lipid bilayers, the so-called black lipid membranes (BLM), over a previously inaccessible spread of frequencies (relaxation times ranging from 10(-2) to 10(-6) s) and wavevectors (250 cm(-1) < q < 38,000 cm(-1)). For a BLM consisting of 1,2-dielaidoyl-sn-3-glycero-phosphocholine (DEPC) doped with two different proportions of the cationic lipid analog dioctadecyl-dimethylammonium bromide (DODAB) we observed an increase of the lateral tension of the membrane with the DODAB concentration. The experimentally determined dispersion behavior of the transverse shear mode was in excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions of a first-order hydrodynamic theory. The symmetric adsorption of the crystalline bacterial cell surface layer (S-layer) proteins from Bacillus coagulans E38-66 to a weakly cationic BLM (1.5 mol % DODAB) causes a drastic reduction of the membrane tension well beyond the previous DODAB-induced tension increase. The likely reason for this behavior is an increase of molecular order along the lipid chains by the protein and/or partial protein penetration into the lipid headgroup region. S-layer protein adsorption to a highly cationic BLM (14 mol % DODAB) shows after 7 h incubation time an even stronger decrease of the membrane tension by a factor of five, but additionally a significant increase of the (previously negligible) surface viscosity, again in excellent agreement with the hydrodynamic theory. Further incubation (24 h) shows a drastic increase of the membrane bending energy by three orders of magnitude as a result of a large-scale, two-dimensional recrystallization of the S-layer proteins at both sides of the BLM. The results demonstrate the potential of the method for the assessment of the different stages of protein adsorption and recrystallization at a membrane surface by measurements of the collective membrane modes and their analysis in terms of a hydrodynamic theory.
