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

The application of pulsed electric field is emerging as a new technique for cancer therapy. The irreversible electroporation is the major bioelectric effect to induce cell death. The pulsed electric field is transferred to target deep tissue non-invasively and precisely when the pulse duration is in picosecond regime. In this proposed work, the intense electric field with 100 ps pulse width is used for irreversible electroporation. If the electric field strength increases, the pore in the cell membrane enlarges, causing a loss of membrane intactness and the direct killing of cancer cells. This phenomenon is explored by molecular dynamics simulation. The electric field in the range of 0.8-5 V/nm is used for membrane dynamics. The membrane deformation occurs at the electric field of 5 V/nm. Picosecond pulsed electric field has a wealth of ultra-band spectrum, with extended time and enhanced spatial resolution and low signal distortion. The ultra-wide band antenna is used as a pulse delivery system for non-invasive skin cancer therapy.
