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

In the study of cell-penetrating and membrane-translocating peptides, a fundamental question occurs as to the contribution arising from fundamental peptide-membrane interactions, relative to the contribution arising from the biology and energy of the cell, mostly occurring in the form of endocytosis and subsequent events. A commonly used approach to begin addressing these mechanistic questions is to measure the degree to which peptides can interact with, and physically disrupt, the integrity of synthetic lipid bilayers. Here, we describe a set of experimental methods that can be used to measure the potency, kinetics, transience, and the effective size of peptide-induced membrane disruption.
