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

This study focuses on the kinetics of light-induced mesophase transitions in lyotropic liquid crystals containing a mixture of phospho-lipids and azo-benzene amphiphiles. Lipid membranes organize in a wide range of morphologies, directly influencing their functionality and the efficiency of associated components such as proteins. Transitions between mesophases occur naturally during membrane fusion and can also be triggered by multiple factors, such as pH, salinity, temperature and light. Employing light to isomerize artificial photoswitchable lipids in mixed model membranes containing 1,2-dipalmitoyl-phos-pha-tidylcholine or 1,2-didecanoyl-phosphatidylcholine revealed light-induced structural changes including mesophase transitions from a lamellar to a cubic
