Crowding-induced morphological changes in synthetic lipid vesicles determined using smFRET.
Article in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Lipid vesicles are valuable mesoscale molecular confinement vessels for studying membrane mechanics and lipid-protein interactions, and they have found utility among bio-inspired technologies, including drug delivery vehicles. While vesicle morphology can be modified by changing the lipid composition and introducing fusion or pore-forming proteins and detergents, the influence of extramembrane crowding on vesicle morphology has remained under-explored owing to a lack of experimental tools capable of capturing morphological changes on the nanoscale. Here, we use biocompatible polymers to simulate molecular crowding
