A refined model of water and CO₂ membrane diffusion: effects and contribution of sterols and proteins.
Article in Scientific reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Black lipid bilayers, a general model system for biomembranes were studied for diffusion rates of small molecules such as water or CO2 using advanced analysis techniques and cell free synthesized proteins. We provide evidence that by simple insertion of proteins or sterols the diffusion rates of water or those of CO2 decrease. Insertion of cell free synthesized water permeable aquaporins restored water diffusion rates as well as insertion of CO2-facilitating aquaporins the CO2 diffusion. Insertion of water or CO2 impermeable proteins decreased the respective diffusion rates. Therefore, for normal high cellular CO2 diffusion rates specific aquaporins are mandatory.
