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

Despite the importance of magnetic properties of biological samples for biomagnetism and related fields, the exact magnetic susceptibilities of most biological samples in their physiological conditions are still unknown. Here we used superconducting quantum interferometer device to detect the magnetic properties of nonfixed, nondehydrated live cell and cellular fractions at a physiological temperature of 37°C (310 K). It is obvious that there are paramagnetic components within human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells. More importantly, the magnetic properties of the cytoplasm and nucleus are different. Although within a single cell, the magnetic susceptibility difference between cellular fractions (nucleus and cytoplasm) could only cause ∼41-130 pN forces to the nucleus by gradient ultrahigh magnetic fields of 13.1-23.5 T (92-160 T/m), these forces are enough to cause a relative position shift of the nucleus within the cell. This not only demonstrates the importance of magnetic susceptibility in the biological effects of magnetic field but also illustrates the potential application of high magnetic fields in biomedicine.
