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

Using fluorescence lifetime microscopy we study the structure of lipid domains in giant unilamellar vesicles made from sphingomyelin, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, and cholesterol. Lifetimes and orientation of a derivative of the fluorescent probe DPH embedded in the membrane were measured for binary and ternary lipid mixtures incorporating up to 42 mol % of cholesterol. The results show that adding cholesterol always increases the lifetime of the probe studied. In addition, the analysis of the probe orientation indicates that cholesterol has little influence on the ordering of the sphingomyelin alkyl chains whereas it has a noticeable effect on the structure of the 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine chains. The measurements made on the orientation and lifetime of the probe show the structure of the membrane in its liquid ordered and liquid disordered domains.
