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

Separations can be broadly categorized as preparative, where the objective is to extract purified quantities of a sample from a complex mixture, or analytic, where the goal is to determine and quantify the contents of the original mixture. Here we demonstrate the application of a new microfluidic separation method, isodielectric separation (IDS), to a range of analytic separations involving cells and particles spanning several orders of magnitude in volume and electrical conductivity. In IDS, cells are dielectrophoretically concentrated to the region along an electrical conductivity gradient where their polarizability vanishes; by measuring this position--the isodielectric point (IDP)--as operating conditions such as the frequency and voltage of the applied electric field are varied, we are able to sort cells or particles with distinct IDPs while simultaneously characterizing their electrical properties. We apply this technique to measure the electrical properties of polystyrene microspheres, viable and nonviable cells of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae , and murine pro B cells, including how these electrical properties vary with the electrical conductivity of the surrounding solvent.
