Cellular Membranes, a Versatile Adaptive Composite Material.
Review in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Cellular membranes belong to the most vital yet least understood biomaterials of live matter. For instance, its biomechanical requirements substantially vary across species and subcellular sites, raising the question how membranes manage to adjust to such dramatic changes. Central to its adaptability at the cell surface is the interplay between the plasma membrane and the adjacent cell cortex, forming an adaptive composite material that dynamically adjusts its mechanical properties. Using a hypothetical composite material, we identify core challenges, and discuss how cellular membranes solved these tasks. We further muse how pathological changes in material properties affect membrane mechanics and cell function, before closing with open questions and future challenges arising when studying cellular membranes.
