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

Select transmembrane proteins found in biogenic membranes are known to facilitate rapid bidirectional flip-flop of lipids between the membrane leaflets, while others have no little or no effect. The particular characteristics which determine the extent to which a protein will facilitate flip-flop are still unknown. To determine if the relative polarity of the transmembrane protein segment influences its capacity for facilitation of flip-flop, we have studied lipid flip-flop dynamics for bilayers containing the peptides WALP(23) and melittin. WALP(23) is used as a model hydrophobic peptide, while melittin consists of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues. Sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS) was used to characterize the bilayers and determine the kinetics of flip-flop for the lipid component, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC), within the mixed bilayers. The kinetic data were utilized to determine the activation thermodynamics for DSPC flip-flop in the presence of the peptides. Melittin was found to significantly reduce the free energy barrier to DSPC flip-flop when incorporated into the bilayer at 1mol.%, while incorporation of WALP(23) at the same concentration led to a more modest reduction of the free energy barrier. The possible mechanisms by which these peptides facilitate flip-flop are analyzed and discussed in terms of the observed activation thermodynamics.
