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

Lymphocyte proliferation assays are widely used to assess the cell-mediated immunity. Current in vitro testing methods that are being used have extensive applications but still more problematic, due to the technical complexity and the needs for specialized equipment and reagents. Electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry represent a very promising tool for the development of label-free in vitro assays of cell proliferation and viability. Here, a novel procedure based on voltammetric behaviours of proliferating cells was fabricated. Results indicated that proliferation in cell cultures and whole blood can be monitored electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry. In the comparison with colorimetric (MTT) assay, cyclic voltammetry gave the best correlation with cell count data over a range of 1200-300,000 cells/well of a microplate. Besides the advantages of short assay duration (4 hours) and the rapidness, the possibility use of fresh blood without further processing, would give more accurate results because cells are monitoring in an intact environment. Cyclic voltammetry assay is an efficient analytical method, which can provide a simple platform for the electrochemical study of lymphocyte proliferation.
