Universal serial bus powered and controlled isolated constant-current physiological stimulator.
Article in The Review of scientific instruments, 2008. 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
We have developed a compact, isolated, physiological, constant-current stimulator that is powered and controlled by a universal serial bus (USB) interface. The stimulator is designed to be used in ex vivo cardiac experiments but is suitable for a wide variety of settings. The cost and features compare very favorably with commercial stimulators usually used in research and student laboratories. In addition to being USB powered, other novel aspects of our stimulator include the ability to produce large currents, up to 100 mA through a typical 1 kOmega load, by means of a single high-voltage dc-to-dc converter; user-specified variable period, magnitude, and duration of complex monophasic or biphasic sequences; and easy integration via hardware or software into existing experimental setups.
