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 deformation of an initially spherical vesicle of radius a with a permeable membrane under extensive forces applied at its poles is calculated as a function of the in-plane shear modulus, H, and the out-of-plane bending modulus, B, using an axisymmetric theory that is valid for large deformations. Suitably nondimensionalized, the results depend upon a single nondimensional parameter, C identical with a(2)H/B. For small deformations, the calculated force-polar strain curves are linear and, under these conditions, the slope of the curve determines only C, not the values of H and B separately. Independent determination of H and B from experimental measurements require deformations that are large enough to produce nonlinear behavior. Simple approximations for large and small C are given, which are applied to experimental measurements on red blood cell ghosts that have been made permeable by treatment with saponin.
