Simulations suggest a scaffolding mechanism of membrane deformation by the caveolin 8S complex.

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
Caveolins form complexes of various sizes that deform membranes into polyhedral shapes. However, the recent structure of the 8S complex was disk-like with a flat membrane-binding surface. How can a flat complex deform membranes into nonplanar structures? Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the 8S complex rapidly takes the form of a suction cup. Simulations on implicit membrane vesicles determined that binding is stronger when E140 gets protonated. In that case, the complex binds much more strongly to 5- and 10-nm-radius vesicles. A concave membrane-binding surface readily explains the membrane-deforming ability of caveolins by direct scaffolding. We propose that the 8S complex sits at the vertices of the caveolar polyhedra, rather than at the center of the polyhedral faces.
