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

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is a versatile, label-free technique for investigating the morphological and biophysical properties of biological cells. Here, we used 3D QPI to study the behavior of human red blood cells (RBCs) across a saline gradient from 1% to 0%. RBCs are osmotic-sensitive, and their phase profiles provide important measures of membrane integrity, shape transitions, and lumen hemolysis. Deducing phase alterations across each concentration allowed us to quantify the osmotic impacts on RBC morphology and assess the corresponding biophysical changes. Other studies on osmotic shock contributed to understanding the behavior of RBCs in hypotonic environments and their applications in hematological and biomedical fields.
