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

Three-dimensional microelectrode arrays (3D MEAs) have emerged as promising tools to detect electrical activities of tissues or organs in vitro and in vivo, but challenges in achieving fast, accurate, and versatile monitoring have consistently hampered further advances in analyzing cell or tissue behaviors. In this review, we discuss emerging 3D MEA technologies for in vitro recording of cardiac and neural cellular electrophysiology, as well as in vivo applications for heart and brain health diagnosis and therapeutics. We first review various forms of recent 3D MEAs for in vitro studies in context of their geometry, materials, and fabrication processes as well as recent demonstrations of 3D MEAs to monitor electromechanical behaviors of cardiomyocytes and neurons. We then present recent advances in 3D MEAs for in vivo applications to the heart and the brain for monitoring of health conditions and stimulation for therapy. A brief overview of the current challenges and future directions of 3D MEAs are provided to conclude the review.
