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

Electroporation is a method that shows great promise as a non-viral approach for delivering genes by using high-voltage electric pulses to introduce DNA into cells to induce transient gene expression. This research aimed to evaluate the interplay between electric pulse intensity and 100 µs-duration pulse numbers as an outcome of gene electrotransfer efficacy and cell viability. Our results indicated a close relationship between pulse number and electric field strength regarding gene electrotransfer efficacy; higher electric pulse intensity resulted in fewer pulses needed to achieve the same gene electrotransfer efficacy. Subsequently, an increase in pulse number had a more negative impact on overall gene electrotransfer by significantly reducing cell viability. Based on our data, the best pulse parameters to transfect CHO cells with the pMax-GFP plasmid were using 5 HV square wave pulses of 1000 V/cm and 2 HV of 1600 V/cm, correspondingly resulting in 55 and 71% of transfected cells and maintaining 79 and 54% proliferating cells. This shows ESOPE-like 100 µs-duration pulse protocols can be used simultaneously to deliver cytotoxic drugs as well as immune response regulating genetically encoded cytokines.
