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 structures of the unit cells of lipid phases that exhibit long-range crystalline order but short-range liquid-like disorder are of biological interests. In particular, the recently discovered rhombohedral phase has a unit cell containing either the structure of a membrane fusion intermediate state or that of a peptide-induced transmembrane pore, depending on the lipid composition and participating peptides. Diffraction from such systems generally presents a difficult phase problem. The existing methods of phase determination all have their limitations. Therefore it is of general interest to develop a new phasing method. The method of multi-wavelength anomalous dispersion is routinely used in protein crystallography, but the same method is difficult for lipid systems for the practical reason that the commonly used lipid samples for diffraction do not have a well-defined thickness. Here we describe a practical approach to use the multi-wavelength anomalous dispersion method for lipid structures. The procedure is demonstrated with the lamellar phase of a brominated lipid. The method is general to all phases as long as anomalous diffraction is applicable.
