Lipid Phase Behaviour of the Curvature Region of Thylakoid Membranes of Spinacia oleracea.
Article in Physiologia plantarum. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Thylakoid membranes (TMs) of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms are flat membrane vesicles, which form highly organised, interconnected membrane networks. In vascular plants, they are differentiated into stacked and unstacked regions, the grana and stroma lamellae, respectively; they are densely packed with protein complexes performing the light reactions of photosynthesis and generating a proton motive force (pmf). The maintenance of pmf and its utilisation for ATP synthesis requires sealing the TMs at their highly curved regions (CRs). These regions are devoid of chlorophyll-containing proteins but contain the curvature-inducing CURVATURE THYLAKOID1 (CURT1) proteins and are enriched in lipids. Because of the highly curved nature of this region, at the margins of grana and stroma TMs, the molecular organisation of lipid molecules is likely to possess distinct features compared to those in the major TM domains. To clarify this question, we isolated CR fractions from Spinacia oleracea and, using BN-PAGE and western blot analysis, verified that they are enriched in CURT1 proteins and in lipids. The lipid phase behaviour of these fractions was fingerprinted with
