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

Electric fields are used in biology to address a broad range of questions and through a variety of techniques, including electroporation, gene electrotransfer (GET), electrostimulation (ES), and electrochemotherapy. Each of these modalities requires specific conditions and has drastically different target outcomes on the cell. ES has demonstrated that non-pore forming electric fields alter cell cycle progression. However, pore forming electric fields such as with GET have not been as widely explored despite major clinical advancements. Additionally, the real-time visual analysis of electrical field effects on mammalian cell culture is currently lacking among most commercial systems. To facilitate investigations into these research areas, an electroporation cytometry system was developed including a custom chamber compatible with live cell imaging and exponential decay pulse generator for live cell analysis. The functionality of the system was demonstrated using a recombinant cell line using U-2 OS cells and FUCCI(CA)5 cell cycle reporter. The exposure of the cells to a 180 V pulse in both unsynchronized and synchronized populations revealed an effect on the cell cycle.
