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 distribution of ganglioside in supported lipid bilayers has been studied by atomic force microscopy. Hybrid dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)/dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) and (2:1 DPPC/cholesterol)/DPPE bilayers were prepared using the Langmuir Blodgett technique. Egg PC and DPPC bilayers were prepared by vesicle fusion. Addition of ganglioside GM1 to each of the lipid bilayers resulted in the formation of heterogeneous surfaces that had numerous small raised domains (30--200 nm in diameter). Incubation of these bilayers with cholera toxin B subunit resulted in the detection of small protein aggregates, indicating specific binding of the protein to the GM1-rich microdomains. Similar results were obtained for DPPC, DPPC/cholesterol, and egg PC, demonstrating that the overall bilayer morphology was not dependent on the method of bilayer preparation or the fluidity of the lipid mixture. However, bilayers produced by vesicle fusion provided evidence for asymmetrically distributed GM1 domains that probably reflect the presence of ganglioside in both inner and outer monolayers of the initial vesicle. The results are discussed in relation to recent inconsistencies in the estimation of sizes of lipid rafts in model and natural membranes. It is hypothesized that small ganglioside-rich microdomains may exist within larger ordered domains in both natural and model membranes.
