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

A549 cells were briefly exposed to Thioglo-1, which converts thiols to fluorescent adducts. The fluorescent cells were exposed to short (50-300 ms) electric field pulses (500 V across a 15 cm capillary) created at the tip of an electrolyte-filled capillary. Fluorescence microscopy revealed varying degrees of cell permeabilization depending on the conditions. Longer pulses and a shorter cell-capillary tip distance led to a greater decrease in the cell's fluorescence. Live/dead (calcein AM and propidium iodide) testing revealed that a certain fraction of cells died. Longer pulses and shorter cell-capillary tip distances were more deadly. An optimum condition exists at a cell-capillary tip distance of 3.5-4.5 microm and a pulse duration of 120-150 ms. At these conditions, >90% of the cells are permeabilized and 80-90% survive.
