Push-Button Method To Create Nanopores Using a Tesla-Coil Lighter.
Article in ACS omega, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Controlled dielectric breakdown (CDB) of silicon nitride thin films immersed in electrolyte solution has been used to fabricate single nanofluidic channels with ∼10 nm and smaller diameters, nanopores, useful in single-molecule sensing and ionic circuit construction. A hand-held Tesla-coil lighter was used to form nanofluidic ionic conductors through a ∼10 nm thick silicon nitride membrane. Modifications to the conventional approach were required by the low-overhead Tesla-coil-assisted method (TCAM): increased circuit resistance by including water in place of electrolyte and discrete rather than continuous voltage applications. The resulting ionic conductance could be tuned with the number of voltage applications. TCAM and conventional CDB produced nanopores with different conductance versus pH curves, suggesting different surface chemistry. Nevertheless, sensing experiments using the canonical test molecule, λ-DNA, produced signals comparable to translocation results through solid-state nanopores fabricated by other methods. Thus, the TCAM method offers flexibility in fabrication and in the properties and function of the nanoscale ionic conductors that it can generate.
