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

Aberrations in cholesterol homeostasis are associated with several diseases that can be linked to changes in cellular oxygen usage. Prior biological and physical studies have suggested that membrane cholesterol content can modulate oxygen delivery, but questions of magnitude and biological significance remain open for further investigation. Here, we use molecular dynamics simulations in a first step toward reexamining the rate impact of cholesterol on the permeation of oxygen through phospholipid bilayers. The simulation models are closely compared with published electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry measurements. The simulations predict an oxygen permeability reduction due to cholesterol but also suggest that the EPR experiments may have underestimated resistance to oxygen permeation in the phospholipid headgroup region.
