The Electric Field Guided HaCaT Cell Migration Through the EGFR/p38 MAPK/Akt Pathway.
Article in Current issues in molecular biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Previous studies have shown that the endogenous electric field (EF) is an overriding cure in guiding cell migration toward the wound center to promote wound healing, but the mechanism underlying is unclear. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism of electric field-guided cell migration in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. Our results showed that HaCaT cells migrate toward the anode under EFs. The phosphorylation levels of p38 MAPK and Akt were obviously elevated in the EF. Knocking down p38 MAPK obviously abolished directed migration of HaCaT cells under the EFs. Inhibiting p38 MAPK by SB203580 impaired the EF-guided cell migration. The electric field may guide HaCaT cell migration through the EGFR/p38 MAPK/Akt pathway.
