Depletion effect and biomembrane budding.
Article in Journal of biological physics, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Depletion effects are well known to lead to phase separation in microsystems consisting of large and small particles with short-range repulsive interactions that act over macromolecular length scales. The equilibrium mechanics between an enveloped colloidal particle and a biomembrane caused by entropy is investigated by using a continuum model. We show that the favorable contact energy stems from entropy, which is sufficient to drive engulfment of the colloidal particle, and deformation of the biomembrane determines the resistance to the engulfment of the colloidal particle. The engulfment process depends on the ratio of the radii of the larger particle and smaller particles and the bending rigidity. The results show insights into the effects of depletion on biomembrane budding and nanoparticle transportation by a vesicle.
