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

To measure the interaction between two lipid bilayers with an atomic force microscope one solid supported bilayer was formed on a planar surface by spontaneous vesicle fusion. To spontaneously adsorb lipid bilayers also on the atomic force microscope tip, the tips were first coated with gold and a monolayer of mercapto undecanol. Calculations indicate that long-chain hydroxyl terminated alkyl thiols tend to enhance spontaneous vesicle fusion because of an increased van der Waals attraction as compared to short-chain thiols. Interactions measured between dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, dioleoylphosphatidylserine, and dioleoyloxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride showed the electrostatic double-layer force plus a shorter-range repulsion which decayed exponentially with a decay length of 0.7 nm for dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, 1.2 nm for dioleoylphosphatidylserine, and 0.8 nm for dioleoyloxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride. The salt concentration drastically changed the interaction between dioleoyloxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride bilayers. As an example for the influence of proteins on bilayer-bilayer interaction, the influence of the synaptic vesicle-associated, phospholipid binding protein synapsin I was studied. Synapsin I increased membrane stability so that the bilayers could not be penetrated with the tip.
