Electrodeformation of DMPC vesicle membranes near the main phase transition.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2025. 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
The physical properties of lipid membranes are essential to cellular function, with membrane fluidity playing a key role in the mobility of embedded biomolecules. Fluidity is governed by the membrane's phase state, which is known to depend on composition and temperature. However, in living cells, the transmembrane electric potential may also influence membrane fluidity. In this study, we use giant unilamellar vesicles composed of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine to examine the membrane's response to electric fields near its main phase transition temperature. Below the transition temperature, the vesicle remains undeformed, indicating a bilayer in the gel phase. However, near the transition, the vesicle elongates into an ellipsoid, and the evolution of the aspect ratio exhibits a two-step response: an initial rapid increase followed by a slower elongation. Electrodeformation experiments at various temperatures relative to the transition temperature T
