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

Electrostatic interactions between negatively charged membranes and basic peptides/protein domains have been implicated as the driving force for several important processes, often involving membrane aggregation, fusion, or phase separation. Recently, acidic lipids were reported to both catalyze amyloid fiber formation by amyloidogenic proteins/peptides and induce formation of "amyloid-like" fibrils by nonamyloidogenic proteins. This study aims to characterize the structure of the aggregates of a basic protein (lysozyme) and negatively charged membranes (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine 4:1 mixture) at the molecular level, using Förster resonance energy transfer. It is concluded that lysozyme induced formation of a "pinched lamellar" structure, with reduced interbilayer distance in the regions where there is bound protein and increased interbilayer distance (stabilized by hydration repulsion) outside these areas.
