Determination of cell capacitance using the exact empirical solution of partial differential Y/partial differential Cm and its phase angle.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 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
Measures of membrane capacitance offer insight into a variety of cellular processes. Unfortunately, popular methodologies rely on model simplifications that sensitize them to interference from inevitable changes in resistive components of the traditional cell-clamp model. Here I report on a novel method to measure membrane capacitance that disposes of the usual simplifications and assumptions, yet is immune to such interference and works on the millisecond timescale. It is based on the exact empirical determination of the elusive partial derivative, partial differential Y/partial differential C(m), which heretofore had been approximated. Furthermore, I illustrate how this method extends to the vesicle fusion problem by permitting the determination of partial differential Y(v)/partial differential C(v), thereby providing estimates of fusion pore conductance and vesicle capacitance. Finally, I provide simulation examples and physiological examples of how the method can be used to study processes that are routinely interrogated by measures of membrane capacitance.
