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

Equilibrium shapes of vesicles composed of a mixture of partially miscible amphiphiles are investigated. To take into account the influences of the composition, a simple phenomenological coupling between the co mposition and the curvatures, including the mean curvature and the Gauss curvature of the membrane surface, is suggested. By minimizing the potential functional, the general shape equation is obtained and solved analytically for vesicles with simple shapes. Besides, the geometrical constraint equation and geometrically permissible condition for the two-component lipid vesicles are put forward. The influences of physical parameters on the geometrically permissible phase diagrams are predicted. The close relations between the predictions and existing experimental phenomena published recently are shown.
