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

The electrical charge of biological membranes and thus the resulting alignment of water molecules in response to this charge are important factors affecting membrane rigidity, transport, and reactivity. We tune the surface charge density by varying lipid composition and investigate the charge-induced alignment of water molecules using surface-specific vibrational spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. At low charge densities, the alignment of water increases proportionally to the charge. However, already at moderate, physiologically relevant charge densities, water alignment starts to saturate despite the increase in the nominal surface charge. The saturation occurs in both the Stern layer, directly at the surface, and in the diffuse layer, yet for distinctly different reasons. Our results show that the soft nature of the lipid interface allows for a marked reduction of the surface potential at high surface charge density via both interfacial molecular rearrangement and permeation of monovalent ions into the interface.
