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

Liquid-disordered/liquid-ordered two-phase coexistence regions in hydrated bilayers have been investigated for sphingomyelins (SMs) of three different origins: egg, brain, and milk with the pulsed-field gradient NMR technique for lateral diffusion measurement. It is found that the three SMs have the same diffusional behavior in bilayers of SM alone, but in the multicomponent systems of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine/SM/cholesterol, the ability to form domains differs for the three SMs. The two-phase area is more extended for egg SM than for brain SM, and no two-phase coexistence is found for milk SM. The differences in behavior are correlated with the homogeneity of the SM hydrocarbon chain compositions, in which egg SM has the most homogeneous and milk SM has the most heterogeneous composition. The results indicate that a crucial element in the domain-forming process is the formation of highly packed bilayers of SM and cholesterol rather than specific interactions between SM and cholesterol.
