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

Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is the principle protein component of HDL, also known as "good cholesterol," which is an inverse marker for cardiovascular disease. The N-terminal 44 amino acids of ApoA-I (N44) are predicted to be responsible for stabilization of soluble ApoA-I, whereas the C-terminal 46 amino acids (C46) are predicted to initiate lipid binding and oligomerization. In this work, we apply what we believe to be a novel application of drop tensiometry to study the adsorption and desorption of N44 and C46 at a triolein/POPC/water (TO/POPC/W) interface. The amount of peptide that adsorbed to the surface was dependent on the surface concentration of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and pressure (Π) before adsorption. At a TO/POPC/W interface, the exclusion pressure (Π(EX)) of C46 was 25.8 mN/m, and was 19.3 mN/m for N44. Once adsorbed, both peptides formed a homogeneous surface with POPC but were progressively ejected from the surface by compression. During a compression, C46 removed POPC from the surface whereas N44 did not. Repeated compressions caused C46 to deplete entirely the surface of phospholipid. If full-length ApoA-I could also remove phospholipid, this could provide a mechanism for the transfer of surface components of chylomicrons and very low density lipoprotein to high density lipoprotein with the assistance of phospholipid transfer protein.
