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
Monte Carlo simulation is employed to investigate the interaction between a polyelectrolyte and a fluid mixed membrane containing neutral (phosphatidyl-choline, PC), monovalent anionic (phosphatidylserine, PS), and multivalent anionic (phosphatidylinositol, PIP2) lipids. The effects of the intrinsic polyelectrolyte rigidity and solution ionic strength on the lateral rearrangement and dynamics of different anionic lipid species are systematically studied. Our results show that, the increase of polyelectrolyte chain rigidity reduces the loss of polyelectrolyte conformational entropy and the energy gains in electrostatic interaction, but raises the demixing entropy loss of the segregated anionic lipids. Therefore, the polyelectrolyte/membrane adsorption strength exhibits a non-monotonic dependence on the polyelectrolyte rigid parameter k ang, and there exists a certain optimal k ang for which the adsorption strength is maximal. Because the less loss of chain conformational entropy dominates the increase of the demixing entropy loss of the segregated anionic lipids and the decreases of the electrostatic energy gains, the semiflexible polyelectrolyte adsorbs onto the membrane more firmly than the flexible one. Whereas, for the adsorption of rigid polyelectrolyte, larger anionic lipid demixing entropy loss and less energy gain in the electrostatic interaction dominate over the decrease of the polyelectrolyte conformation entropy loss, leading to the desorption of the chain from the membrane. By decreasing the ionic concentration of the salt solution, the certain optimal k ang shifts to larger values. The cooperative effects of the adsorbing polyelectrolyte beads determine the concentration gradients and hierarchical mobility of the bound anionic lipids, as well as the polyelectrolyte dynamics.
