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 interaction of three polylysines, Lys(5) (N = 5), Lys(30) (N = 30), and Lys(100) (N = 100), where N is the number of lysine residues per chain, with phosphatidylserine-containing lipid bilayer membranes was investigated using 2H NMR spectroscopy. Lys(30) and Lys(100) added to multilamellar vesicles composed of (70:30) (mol:mol) mixtures of choline-deuterated 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) + 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (POPS) produced two resolvable 2H NMR spectral components under conditions of low ionic strength and for cases where the global anionic lipid charge was in excess over the global cationic polypeptide charge. The intensities and quadrupolar splittings of the two spectral components were consistent with the existence of polylysine-bound domains enriched in POPS, in coexistence with polylysine-free domains depleted in POPS. Lys(5), however, yielded no 2H NMR resolvable domains. Increasing ionic strength caused domains to become diffuse and eventually dissipate entirely. At physiological salt concentrations, only Lys(100) yielded 2H NMR-resolvable domains. Therefore, under physiological conditions of ionic strength, pH, and anionic lipid bilayer content, and in the absence of other, e.g., hydrophobic, contributions to the binding free energy, the minimum number of lysine residues sufficient to produce spectroscopically resolvable POPS-enriched domains on the 2H NMR millisecond timescale may be fewer than 100, but is certainly greater than 30.
