0.46 Terahertz wave irradiation inhibit transcription reaction in liposomes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Terahertz waves are absorbed by hydrogen bonds between water molecules and proteins, and low-frequency terahertz waves, in particular, have been reported to cause changes in protein function and inhibit cell division. In this study, we established an experimental system to irradiate liposomes containing T7 RNA polymerase for in vitro transcription reactions with terahertz waves in the absence of external fluid, and analyzed the resulting changes in transcription reaction efficiency. Terahertz wave irradiation at 460 GHz did not alter the shape of the liposomes, but the intraliposomal transcription reaction was non-thermally inhibited during irradiation, regardless of the energy per pulse. After irradiation, the transcription reaction efficiency was found to be higher than in non-irradiated samples. Since our experimental system allows for the analysis of a wide range of terahertz wave frequencies, pulse widths, pulse intervals, and energy levels, we can comprehensively explore the effects of terahertz waves on living organisms, an area that has been challenging to study in the past. This capability significantly broadens the potential applications of terahertz waves in future research.
