Bending stiffness of biological membranes: what can be measured by neutron spin echo?
Article in The European physical journal. E, Soft matter, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Large vesicles obtained by the extrusion method represent adequate membrane models to probe membrane dynamics with neutron radiation. Particularly, the shape fluctuations around the spherical average topology can be recorded by neutron spin echo (NSE). In this paper we report on the applicable theories describing the scattering contributions from bending-dominated shape fluctuations in diluted vesicle dispersions, with a focus on the relative relevance of the master translational mode with respect to the internal fluctuations. Different vesicle systems, including bilayer and non-bilayer membranes, have been scrutinized. We describe the practical ranges where the exact theory of bending fluctuations is applicable to obtain the values of the bending modulus from experiments, and we discuss about the possible internal modes that could be alternatively contributing to shape fluctuations.
