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

Coarse-grained simulations of model membranes containing mixtures of phospholipid and cholesterol molecules at different concentrations and temperatures have been performed. A random mixing without tendencies for segregation or formation of domains was observed on spatial scales corresponding to a few thousand lipids and timescales up to several microseconds. The gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition is successively weakened with increasing amounts of cholesterol without disappearing completely even at a concentration of cholesterol as high as 60%. The phase transition temperature increases slightly depending on the cholesterol concentration. The gel phase system undergoes a transition with increasing amounts of cholesterol from a solid-ordered phase into a liquid-ordered one. In the solid phase, the amplitude of the oscillations in the radial distribution function decays algebraically with a prefactor that goes to zero at the solid-liquid transition.
