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

Tumor-treating fields (TTFields) are alternating electrical fields of intermediate frequency and low intensity that can slow or inhibit tumor growth by disrupting mitosis division of cancerous cells through cell cycle proteins. In this work, for the first time, an in-house fabricated cyclo-olefin polymer made microfluidic bioreactors are integrated with Cr/Au interdigitated electrodes to test TTFields on yeast cells with fluorescent protein:Nop56 gene. A small gap between electrodes (50
