The Effect of Cholesterol on the Voltage-Current Characteristics of Tethered Lipid Membranes.
Article in The Journal of membrane biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In this study, a lipid bilayer membrane model was used, in which the bilayer is tethered to a solid substrate with molecular tethers. The V-I characteristics of the lipid bilayers were found to be non-linear which suggests the presence of pores that are voltage-dependent. At high applied voltages, the conductance reached a limiting value, presumably indicating a limit on the maximum pore size. A decrease in the spacing between tethers (increasing tether density) caused a decrease in the membrane's conductance at high applied voltage, which is consistent with the maximum pore size being determined by the spacing between the tethers. The inclusion of 10 M% cholesterol within the membrane lipid caused a decrease in the membrane conductance. However, the inclusion of higher levels of cholesterol increased the membrane conductance.
