Membrane Solubilization by Styrene-Maleic Acid Copolymers: Delineating the Role of Polymer Length.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Styrene-maleic acid (SMA) copolymers have attracted interest in membrane research because they allow the solubilization and purification of membrane-spanning proteins from biological membranes in the form of native-like nanodisks. However, our understanding of the underlying SMA-lipid interactions is hampered by the fact that SMA preparations are very polydisperse. Here, we obtained fractions of the two most commonly used SMA preparations: SMA 2:1 and SMA 3:1 (both with specified M
