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 persistent photoconductivity (PPC) of the n-type Ga-polar GaN was used to stimulate PC12 cells noninvasively. Analysis of the III-V semiconductor material by atomic force microscopy, Kelvin probe force microscopy, photoconductivity, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy quantified bulk and surface charge, as well as chemical composition before and after exposure to UV light and cell culture media. The semiconductor surface was made photoconductive by illumination with UV light and experienced PPC, which was utilized to stimulate PC12 cells in vitro. Stimulation was confirmed by measuring the changes in intracellular calcium concentration. Control experiments with gallium salt verified the stimulation of neurotypic cells. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry data confirmed the lack of gallium leaching and toxic effects during the stimulation.
