Electric pulses induce cylindrical deformations on giant vesicles in salt solutions.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
In this article, we report for the first time unusual shape changes of vesicles subjected to strong electric pulses in salt solutions of low concentration. The electric field is created by two parallel electrodes between which the vesicle solution is located. Surprisingly, the vesicles assume cylindrical shapes during the pulse. These deformations are short-lived (their lifetime is approximately 1 ms) and occur only in the presence of salt outside the vesicles, irrespective of their content. When the solution conductivities inside and outside are the same, vesicles with square cross section are observed. Using a fast digital camera, we were able to record these deformations and study the vesicle shape dynamics. The aims of this article are to report the new vesicle morphologies and their dynamics and to provoke theoretical work in this direction.
