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

Ellipsometric light scattering (ELS) at room temperature is applied to unilamellar vesicles (approximately 50 nm radius) of 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) in the gel phase and of 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) in the liquid-crystaline phase. A high sensitivity of this technique to the local anisotropy is found. From the resulting local birefringence, a lower limit of (29 +/-0.5) degrees for the average tilt angle of the lipid chains of DPPC with respect to the membrane normal is estimated. This tilt angle value is slightly lower than literature values for the tilt angle in oriented lipid multi-bilayers on solid substrates.
