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

In this report we describe the fabrication and characterization of a phospholipid/alkanethiol hybrid bilayer membrane in air. The bilayer is formed by the interaction of phospholipid with the hydrophobic surface of a self-assembled alkanethiol monolayer on gold. We have characterized the resulting hybrid bilayer membrane in air using atomic force microscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry, and reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy. These analyses indicate that the phospholipid added is one monolayer thick, is continuous, and exhibits molecular order which is similar to that observed for phospholipid/phospholipid model membranes. The hybrid bilayer prepared in air has also been re-introduced to water and characterized using neutron reflectivity and impedance spectroscopy. Impedance data indicate that when moved from air to water, hybrid bilayers exhibit a dielectric constant and thickness that is essentially equivalent to hybrid bilayers prepared in situ by adding phospholipid vesicles to alkanethiol monolayers in water. Neutron scattering from these samples was collected out to a wave vector transfer of 0.25 A(-1), and provided a sensitivity to changes in total layer thickness on the order of 1-2 A. The data confirm that the acyl chain region of the phospholipid layer is consistent with that observed for phospholipid-phospholipid bilayers, but suggest greater hydration of the phospholipid headgroups of HBMs than has been reported in studies of lipid multilayers.
