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

Data of the osmotic water permeability of a lipid bilayer (diphytanoylphosphaticylcholin) in the presence of cholesterol (30 mole%) are shown under the simultaneous measurement of bilayer tension. Detailed methods and procedures for evaluating the water permeability using the moving membrane method (K. Yano, M. Iwamoto, T. Koshiji & S. Oiki: Visualizing the Osmotic Water Permeability of a Lipid Bilayer under Measured Bilayer Tension Using a Moving Membrane Method. Journal of Membrane Science, 627 (2021) 119231) are presented. The planar lipid bilayer is formed in a glass capillary, separating two aqueous compartments with different osmolarities, and osmotically-driven water flux is visualized as membrane movements along the capillary. The water permeability was evaluated under constant membrane area and tension after correcting for the unstirred layer effect. In these measurements, geometrical features, such as the edge of the planar lipid bilayer and the contact angle between bilayer and monolayer, were image-analyzed. The unstirred layer was evaluated electrophysiologically, in which gramicidin A channel was employed. In the presence of an osmotic gradient, the gramicidin channel generates the streaming potential, and the measured streaming potential data and the derived water-ion coupling ratio (water flux/ion flux) are shown. Detailed descriptions of the integrated method of the moving membrane allow researchers to reproduce the experiment and give opportunities to examine water permeability of various types of membranes, including those containing aquaporins. The present data of osmotic water permeability are compared with the previously published data, while they neglected the bilayer tension.
