Photolithographic patterned surface forms size-controlled lipid vesicles.
Article in APL bioengineering, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Using traditional 2-D photolithographic methods, surface patterns are made on agarose and used to form lipid vesicles with controlled size and layout. Depending on the size and layout of the patterned structures, the lipid bilayer vesicle size can be tuned and placement can be predetermined. Vesicles formed on 2-D patterned surfaces can be harvested for further investigations or can be assayed directly on the patterned surface. Lipid vesicles on the patterned surface are assayed for unilamellarity and protein incorporation, and vesicles are indeed unilamellar as observed from outer leaflet fluorescence quenching. Vesicles successfully incorporate the integral membrane protein α-hemolysin and maintain its membrane transport function.
