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

Implicit membrane models usually treat the membrane as a hydrophobic slab and neglect lateral pressure/curvature stress effects. As a result, they cannot distinguish, for example, PE from PC lipids. Here, the implicit membrane model IMM1 is extended to include these effects using a combination of classical thermodynamics and membrane elasticity theory. The proposed model is tested by molecular dynamics simulation of the peptides alamethicin, melittin, cyclotide kalata B1, 18A, and KKpL15. The lateral pressure term stabilizes interfacial binding due to the negative pressure at the hydrocarbon-water interface. In agreement with experiment, increase in the peptide/lipid molar ratio shifts the equilibrium from the interfacial to the transmembrane orientation. Simulations of mixed DOPC/DOPE bilayers show that increase of the DOPE mole fraction in general stabilizes interfacial orientations and destabilizes transmembrane orientations. The extent of the stabilization or destabilization varies depending on the exact position of the peptides. The computational results are in good agreement with experiments.
