OpenPore: A low-cost, portable, battery-powered exponential decay pulse generator for electroporation.
Article in HardwareX, 2026. 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
The OpenPore pulse generator is a battery powered, portable exponential decay pulse generator for performing mammalian cell electroporation. Electroporation is a common technique for transporting molecular cargo such as plasmid DNA through cell membranes. The system achieves this by providing a 0-330 V range with manual charge, pulse, and safe discharge controls as well as digital display indicating the stored voltage level. This is powered by two batteries (9 V and 1.5 V) allowing for a compact, lightweight system which can be implemented in a variety of settings based on experimental demands. When used in conjunction with a 0.4 cm commercial electroporation cuvette, transfection efficiencies comparable to commercially available systems are achieved.
