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

An electric field is focused on one cell in single-cell electroporation. This enables selective electroporation treatment of the targeted cell without affecting its neighbors. While factors that lead to membrane permeation are the same as in bulk electroporation, quantitative description of the single-cell experiments is more complicated. This is due to the fact that the potential distribution cannot be solved analytically. We present single-cell electroporation with an electrolyte-filled capillary modeled with a finite element method. Potential is calculated in the capillary, the solution surrounding the cell, and the cell. The model enables calculation of the transmembrane potential and the fraction of the cell membrane that is above the critical electroporation potential. Electroporation at several cell-to-tip distances of human lung carcinoma cells (A549) stained with ThioGlo-1 demonstrated membrane permeation at distances shorter than approximately 7.0 microm. This agrees well with the model's prediction that a critical transmembrane potential of 250 mV is achieved when the capillary is approximately 6.5 microm or closer to the cell. Simulations predict that at short cell-to-tip distances, the transmembrane potential increases significantly while the total area of the cell above the critical potential increases only moderately.
