Progressive pearl necklace collapse mechanism for cerato-ulmin aggregation film.
Article in European biophysics journal : EBJ, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cerato-ulmin (CU) is a fungal toxin class II hydrophobin, involved in Dutch elm disease. The formation of hydrophobin films at the air-water interface is a key mechanism which plays a role of paramount importance at different stages of the fungal development. We present a study on the precursor stages of growth towards the self-assembly aggregation film of CU. Atomic force microscopy images of CU dropped on mica substrates indicate that the system self-organizes in almost one-dimensional pearl-necklace-like chains, which subsequently collapse and possibly merge to form extended and rather compact planar films. We propose and verify a simple model to describe the self-aggregation mechanism in terms of progressive thickening of the pearl chains due to the successive merging and collapse of the elementary constitutive units.
