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 calculate the influence of a flexible network of long-chain proteins, which is anchored to a fluid membrane, on protein diffusion in this membrane. This is a model for the cortical cytoskeleton and the lipid bilayer of the red blood cell, which we apply to predict the influence of the cytoskeleton on the diffusion coefficient of a mobile band 3 protein. Using the pressure field that the cytoskeleton exerts on the membrane, from the steric repulsion between the diffusing protein and the cytoskeletal filaments, we define a potential landscape for the diffusion within the bilayer. We study the changes to the diffusion coefficient on removal of one type of anchor proteins, e.g., in several hemolytic anemias, as well as for isotropic and anisotropic stretching of the cytoskeleton. We predict an overall increase of the diffusion for a smaller number of anchor proteins and increased diffusion for anisotropic stretching in the direction of the stretch, because of the decrease in the spatial frequency as well as in the height of the potential barriers.
