Disorder Amidst Membrane Order: Standardizing Laurdan Generalized Polarization and Membrane Fluidity Terms.
Review in Journal of fluorescence, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Membrane organization and fluidity research continues to expand and the understanding of membrane dynamics continues to be refined. Within this field of study, laurdan remains among the most popular, versatile, and established fluorescence probes. Fluorimetry and multiphoton microscopy techniques are standards for measuring laurdan fluorescence and continue to be refined. However, complications have arisen due to an amended membrane model, revised terms used for describing membrane phases, and wide variation in the selection of laurdan generalized polarization equation values. Here, in the context of the history and chemical properties of laurdan, discrepancies are highlighted and important recommendations are made to promote uniformity and ongoing progress.
