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

With over 50 years of electroporation research, the nature of cell membrane permeabilization remains elusive. The lifetime of electropores in molecular models is limited to nano- or microseconds, whereas the permeabilization of electroporated cells can last minutes. This study aimed at resolving a longstanding debate on whether the prolonged permeabilization is due to the formation of long-lived pores in cells. We developed a method for dynamic monitoring and conductance measurements of individual electropores. This was accomplished by time-lapse total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) imaging in HEK cells loaded with CAL-520 dye and placed on an indium tin oxide (ITO) surface. Applying a 1-ms, 0 to -400 mV pulse between the patch pipette and ITO evoked focal Ca
