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

Fengycins are compounds produced by bacteria of the Bacillus genus with strong antifungal activity. In this work, lipids extracted from fungal and oomycetal molds were used to assess the ability of fengycin to bind and insert into complex membrane models prepared as Langmuir lipid monolayers. In addition, fengycin-induced leakage in liposomes prepared from these complex lipid extracts was also evaluated. Fengycin's ability to bind and incorporate into these membranes seemed to be mainly related to ergosterol content. Other membrane characteristics such as phospholipid fatty acyl chain length played a more peripheral role. A high ergosterol concentration appeared to allow other membrane characteristics generally associated with fengycin binding and/or insertion, such as higher proportion of phosphatidylcholine head groups or increased fatty acyl unsaturation, to be present without adversely affecting membrane integrity. Increased membrane leakage was also generally associated with the presence of low or no ergosterol. Leakage was also correlated with the previously reported biological activity of fengycin on these molds.
