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

We test here a previously proposed hypothesis about lateral heterogeneity of cell membranes, a model predicting that heterogeneity is maintained by a combination of delivery and intake of molecules with barriers to lateral free diffusion. To test the validity of the model, we observed green fluorescent protein tagged major histocompatibility complex class I patches on the plasma membrane of mouse fibroblasts, using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy in real time. The dynamic characterization revealed the life course of these patches comprises delivery of molecules at a short instant, followed by a slow, exponential decay, corresponding to diffusion of the molecules over dynamic barriers to free lateral diffusion. The characteristic lifetime of the patches, extracted from the measurements, is approximately 30 s, in excellent agreement with the predictions of the model.
