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
Ceramide is an important intermediate in sphingolipid homeostasis. We examined how colipids, with negative intrinsic curvature and which may induce curvature stress in the bilayers, affected the segregation of palmitoyl ceramide (PCer). Such colipids include 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (POPE), 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE), and tetra-linoleoyl cardiolipin (CL). In 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) bilayers, PCer formed ordered, gel-like domains at concentrations above 10 mol% at 23°C, as evidenced by the change in the average lifetime of the trans-parinaric acid emission. When POPE or DOPE were included in the DOPC bilayer (at 20:80 or 40:60 POPE or DOPE to DOPC, by mol), the lateral segregation of PCer was facilitated in a concentration-dependent manner, and less PCer was required for the formation of the ordered ceramide-rich domains. Inclusion of CL in the DOPE bilayer (at 10:90 or 20:80 CL to PC, by mol) also caused a similar facilitation of the lateral segregation of PCer. The PCer-rich domains formed in the presence of POPE, DOPE, or CL in DOPC bilayers were slightly more thermostable (by 2-10°C) when compared to PCer-rich domains in DOPC-only bilayers. Nonlamellar phases were not present in bilayers in which the effects of POPE or DOPE on PCer segregation were the largest, as verified by
