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

Protein-lipid interactions in cellular membranes modulate central cellular functions, are often transient in character, but occur too intermittently to be readily observable. We introduce transient state imaging (TRAST), combining sensitive fluorescence detection of fluorophore markers with monitoring of their dark triplet state transitions, allowing imaging of such protein-lipid interactions. We first determined the dark state kinetics of the biomembrane fluorophore 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-4-yl (NBD) in lipid vesicles, and how its triplet state is quenched by spin-labels in the same membranes. We then monitored collisional quenching of NBD-lipid derivatives by spin-labelled stearic acids in live cell plasma membranes, and of NBD-lipid derivatives by spin-labelled G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs). We could then resolve transient interactions between the GPCRs and different lipids, how these interactions changed upon GPCR activation, thereby demonstrating a widely applicable means to image and characterize transient molecular interactions in live cell membranes in general, not within reach via traditional fluorescence readouts.
