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

Caveolae are abundant plasma membrane pits formed by the coordinated action of peripheral and integral membrane proteins and membrane lipids. Here, we discuss recent studies that are starting to provide a glimpse of how filamentous cavin proteins, membrane-embedded caveolin proteins, and specific plasma membrane lipids are brought together to make the unique caveola surface domain. Protein assembly involves multiple low-affinity interactions that are dependent on 'fuzzy' charge-dependent interactions mediated in part by disordered cavin and caveolin domains. We propose that cavins help generate a lipid domain conducive to full insertion of caveolin into the bilayer to promote caveola formation. The synergistic assembly of these dynamic protein complexes supports the formation of a metastable membrane domain that can be readily disassembled both in response to cellular stress and during endocytic trafficking. We present a mechanistic model for generation of caveolae based on these new insights.
