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

Lipopeptides can self-assemble into diverse nanostructures which can be programmed to incorporate peptide sequences to achieve a remarkable range of bioactivities. Here, the influence of peptide sequence and chirality on micelle structure and interactions is investigated in a series of lipopeptides bearing two lysine or D-lysine residues and tyrosine or tryptophan residues, attached to a hexadecyl lipid chain. All molecules self-assemble into micelles above a critical micelle concentration (CMC). Small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) is used to probe micelle shape and structure from the form factor and to probe inter-micellar interactions via analysis of structure factor. The CMC is obtained consistently from surface tension and electrical conductivity measurements. We introduce a method to obtain the zeta potential from the SAXS structure factor which is in good agreement with directly measured values. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations provide insights into molecular packing and conformation within the lipopeptide micelles which constitute model self-assembling colloidal systems and biomaterials.
