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

In practical dielectrophoretic cell interaction experiments, cells do not always exhibit circular or rod-like shapes, making the study of dielectrophoretic interactions among irregularly shaped particles of significant importance. We established a mathematical model for curved particles to analyze their mutual dielectrophoretic interactions, incorporating particle deformability by varying their shear modulus, and employed the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method to describe particle motion and deformation. The results demonstrate that under the influence of a direct current electric field, curved particles undergo rotation, deformation, and mutual attraction due to dielectrophoresis, eventually forming a stable alignment parallel to the applied electric field. Adjusting the electric field strength effectively modulates the interaction intensity and movement velocity between particles. This study elucidates the fundamental principles governing dielectrophoretic interactions among deformable curved particles in DC electric fields, providing theoretical guidance for dielectrophoretic manipulation experiments involving biological cells, metallic particles, and other entities under DC electric fields.
