Application of Electrical Impedance Tomography in Diagnosis of Cancer.
Review in Advanced biomedical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a new imaging technique, is cost-effective, portable, and radiation-free, which makes it a suitable tool for bedside diagnosis. This review aims to provide recent development in EIT application in detection of various types of cancer. EIT calculates the internal electrical conductivity distribution of an organ by measuring its surface impedance. Electrodes are placed on the surface of the target tissue, and small alternating currents are injected and then related voltages are observed and analyzed. The electrical permittivity and conductivity are reconstructed by measuring the electrode voltages. The electrical characteristic of biological tissues is remarkably dependent on their structures. Some malignancies have different properties and can be distinguished using EIT. These differences are attributed to changes in cellular water content, membrane properties, destruction of tight junctions with cell membranes, and changes in the orientation of malignant cells. However, EIT can distinguish between human tumors and healthy cells in different types of organs.
