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

Lipid membrane interfaces are complex environments that host essential cellular processes such as binding of proteins or drug molecules. A key open question is how water molecules at the interface of membranes with anionic lipids participate in protein binding. To address this question, we studied the dynamics of water hydrogen bonding at the interface of membranes composed of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol, and implemented an algorithm to identify hydrogen-bonded networks at the interface of a lipid membrane, and to characterize their dynamics and linear connections. We find that the membrane interface is characterized by a rich network of hydrogen-bonded water chains that bridge lipid headgroups, some of which form transient lipid clusters. Water-mediated bridges between with lipid phosphate groups are dynamic, with residence lifetimes on the order of picoseconds. These clusters of water/lipid headgroup hydrogen bonds could provide a platform for the binding of proteins or of drug molecules with cationic groups.
