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

Cell sickling is the process in which intracellular polymerization of deoxygenated sickle hemoglobin (HbS) leads to distorted, rigid cells, resulting in abnormal blood rheology and painful vaso-occlusion. Current methods for detection of this process mainly rely on optical microscopy of cellular morphology and measurements of cell deformability and blood rheology. As electrical impedance of cells is a sensitive indicator of changes in cellular structure and biophysical characteristics, it can be a promising marker for characterization of abnormal blood rheology and a means more convenient than optics to be integrated into point-of-care devices. In this work, a microfluidics-based electrical impedance sensor has been developed for characterizing the dynamic cell sickling-unsickling processes in sickle blood. The sensor is capable of measuring the continuous variation in the sickle cell suspension due to cyclic hypoxia-induced intracellular HbS polymerization and depolymerization. Simultaneous microscopic imaging of cell morphological change shows the reliability and repeatability of the electrical impedance-based measurements of cell sickling and unsickling processes. Strong correlation is found between the electrical impedance measurement and patients' hematological parameters such as levels of HbS and fetal hemoglobin. The combination of electrical impedance measurement and on-chip hypoxia control provides a promising method for rapid assessment of the dynamic processes of cell sickling and unsickling in patients with sickle cell disease.
