Interfacial behavior of cholesterol, ergosterol, and lanosterol in mixtures with DPPC and DMPC.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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.
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
Binary mixtures of cholesterol, ergosterol, and lanosterol with phosphatidylcholines differing in the length of the saturated acyl chains, viz 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC), were analyzed using a Langmuir balance for recording force-area (pi-A) and surface potential-area (psi-A) isotherms. A progressive disappearance of the liquid expanded-liquid condensed transition was observed in mixed monolayers with DPPC after the increase in the content of all three sterols. For fluid DMPC matrix, no modulation of the monolayer phase behavior due to the sterols was evident with the exception of lanosterol, for which a pronounced discontinuity between mole fractions of X = 0.3 and X = 0.75 was discernible in the compression isotherms. Condensing and expanding effects in force-area (pi-A) isotherms due to varying X(sterols) and differences in the monolayer physical state were assessed from the values for the interfacial compression moduli. Surface potential measurements support the notion that cholesterol and ergosterol, but not lanosterol, reduce the penetration of water into the lipid monolayers. Examination of the excess free energy of mixing revealed an enhanced stability of binary monolayers containing cholesterol compared to those with ergosterol or lanosterol; the differences are emphasized in the range of surface pressure values found in natural membranes.
