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

The topology of polytopic membrane proteins is determined by topogenic sequences in the protein, protein-translocon interactions, and interactions during folding within the protein and between the protein and the lipid environment. Orientation of transmembrane domains is dependent on membrane phospholipid composition during initial assembly as well as on changes in lipid composition postassembly. The membrane translocation potential of negative amino acids working in opposition to the positive-inside rule is largely dampened by the normal presence of phosphatidylethanolamine, thus explaining the dominance of positive residues as retention signals. Phosphatidylethanolamine provides the appropriate charge density that permits the membrane surface to maintain a charge balance between membrane translocation and retention signals and also allows the presence of negative residues in the cytoplasmic face of proteins for other purposes.
