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

Lateral phase-separated structures in cellular membranes serve as functional domains in various membrane-mediated biological processes. Controlling phase-separation dynamics through catalysis could enable the assembly of smart vesicles that exhibit life-like phenomena. Herein, we present the first example of dynamic control of lateral phase separation via a catalytic reaction: ring-closing olefin metathesis (RCM). This catalytic reaction occurs near the membrane by engineering the surface of lipid membranes with a biotin-streptavidin-based artificial metalloenzyme (ArM). We designed a substrate that, following RCM, releases decanoic acid, which could be spontaneously incorporated into the lipid bilayer, resulting in the disappearance of lipid domains within the membrane. Genetic optimization of the ArM led to a 3-fold increase in catalytic activity, ultimately leading to the budding of a larger lipid domain.
