Dielectric double shell characterization of yeast cells exposed to simulated microgravity.
Article in NPJ microgravity, 2026. 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
Microgravity alters key biological processes, impacting cellular structure, function, and metabolism. In the absence of gravity, cells experience changes that disrupt signal transduction, gene expression, and metabolic pathways, affecting growth rates and cellular viability. Ground-based simulators like clinostats replicate microgravity conditions to study these effects, allowing researchers to examine cellular responses in the lab. This study uses Saccharomyces cerevisiae to explore microgravity's impact on yeast metabolism and properties. Yeast cells are exposed to simulated microgravity via a 2D-clinostat and analyzed using dielectrophoresis over 1-24 h. A double-shell model reveals significant morphological and membrane changes under these conditions. Results indicate notable differences in membrane permittivity and conductivity, with microgravity reducing the folding factor in yeast cells, impairing nutrient uptake and energy production. This research enhances the understanding of microgravity's effects on eukaryotic cells and contributes to the field of gravitational biology.
