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

Septins are cytoskeletal proteins that form filaments and higher-order structures, and remodel membranes in a variety of processes. Structural and cell biological studies provided atomic- and micro-scale details, but the understanding of septin assembly at the mesoscale is limited. Here, we used high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) to analyze yeast septin assembly on yeast supported lipid bilayers (SLBs). We found the coexistence of three lipid phases in yeast membranes, where septin polymerized selectively on the liquid-disordered phase. Septin filaments adhered to membranes with a conserved face; and paired filaments, previously reported in less native environments, were not observed. Additionally, septin filaments exhibited lateral and longitudinal alignment. We used HS-AFM force-sweep experiments to disrupt septin structures and observe organizational recovery through self-templating. Finally, septin filaments stacked, where higher layer filament alignment was templated by the layer below. Thus, septins encode their 3D-structural organization, likely tunable by the membrane and bulk environment.
