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
A microfluidic method has been developed for real-time measurement of the effects of curcumin on the intracellular calcium concentration in a single glioma cell (U87-MG). This method is based on quantitative fluorescence measurement of intracellular calcium in a cell selected in a single-cell biochip. This biochip consists of three reservoirs, three channels, and a V-shaped cell retention structure. Because of the adherent nature of glioma cells, a single cell can adhere within the aforementioned V-shaped structure. The single-cell calcium measurement will minimize cell damage caused by conventional cell calcium assay methods. Previous studies have shown that curcumin increased cytosolic calcium in glioma cells using the fluorescent dye: Fluo-4. So in this study, the effects of 5 μM and 10 μM solutions of curcumin on the increases of cytosolic calcium in a single glioma cell have been measured. Moreover, the effects of 100 μM and 200 μM of resveratrol are measured. At the final stage of the experiments, ionomycin was used to increase the intracellular calcium to the highest possible level due to dye saturation. It has been demonstrated that microfluidic cell calcium measurement is a real-time cytosolic assay that requires small quantities of reagent, which will have potential uses for drug discovery.
