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

Free volume within lipid bilayers plays a crucial role in determining membrane properties, such as fluidity, permeability, and domain organization, which in turn modulate the functions of membrane proteins and cellular processes. The presence of hydrophobic molecules within bilayers reciprocally influences free volume, and previous studies have shown that solidification of such hydrophobic molecules induces exclusion from the bilayer interior, leading to a reduction in bilayer thickness. Here, we investigate the inclusion and exclusion behaviors of hydrocarbon intercalants by quantifying bilayer thickness. The excluded volume effect expelled the long-chain compound squalane, whereas smaller intercalants,
