Stability of spiculated red blood cells induced by intercalation of amphiphiles in cell 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
The stability of spiculated red blood cells, induced by intercalation of amphiphilic molecules into the cell membrane, is studied. It is assumed that the stable red blood cell shape corresponds to the minimum of its membrane elastic energy, which consists of the local and non-local bilayer bending energies and of the skeleton shear elastic energy. The cell, volume and the membrane area are kept constant. It is calculated that the number of spicules of the stable echinocytic shape is larger when the amphiphile concentration is higher, which is in agreement with experimental observations. Also, it is established that, in explaining the stability of the echinocytic shape of the red blood cell, it is necessary to include the membrane skeleton shear elasticity.
