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

cell-membrane fusion using microrobots can be a useful technique for delivering bioactive compounds to cellular systems. The role of membrane curvature and lipid ordering in the cell membrane penetration process is well known. However, once the fusion into the cell membrane is already initiated, the fluid dynamics of microrobot penetration based on tension difference of the microrobot solution and membrane curvature at the fusion pore has not been explored yet. Here, we demonstrate how surface tension difference among merging interfaces plays role in microrobot droplet penetration into a liquid bath, mimicking cell membrane fusion. The maximum penetration of a microrobot droplet into a liquid bath depends on the positive difference of surface tension between the droplet and liquid bath, longitudinal curvature of the bridge region, and the size of the droplet.
