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

Exposure of cells to electric fields is used in applications as diverse as deep brain stimulation to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, tumor-treating fields to delay the progression of hard-to-treat cancers, and electroporation to deliver genetic materials to cells. It is also used to study the fundamental properties of electrically active cells and to induce changes in cell behavior, such as the directed outgrowth of neurites, that may one day find applications in the clinic. This review discusses some of the effects elicited on cells upon exposure to electric fields, both acutely and at longer time scales, and considers the underlying mechanisms proposed. It also provides an overview of the technology used to study the effects of exposure of cell to electric fields, including the different types of metal/electrolyte interfaces and the electrode materials used in
