Lenticular intermediate-sized filaments: biosynthesis and interaction with plasma membrane.

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.
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
Electron microscopical features of the lens fiber plasma membrane-cytoskeleton complex are suggestive of an intimate association between the intermediate-sized filaments (IF) and the lipid bilayer. Biochemical analysis of this complex reveals the occurrence of an appreciable amount of vimentin as a protein subunit of lenticular IF. Additional evidence for association between IF and membranes is provided by the observation that newly synthesized vimentin is associated with plasma membranes added to a reticulocyte lysate programmed with lens polyribosomes. Concomitantly alpha-crystallin polypeptide chains (alpha A2) are also found associated with the plasma membrane together with a hitherto unidentified 47-kilodalton protein. Once associated with the lipid bilayer, the vimentin polypeptide resists urea treatment, suggesting that it has become an integral constituent associated with part of the membrane.
