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

Calcium electrochemotherapy (CaECT) is an effective alternative to standard chemotherapeutic treatments, utilizing intracellular delivery of supraphysiological calcium concentrations to induce cell death. High-frequency sub-microsecond bursts can be successfully used for CaECT, however, bipolar waveforms have not yet been characterized in this context, potentially offering better impedance mitigation and more uniform treatment when compared to unipolar procedures. Therefore, this study evaluated the feasibility of unipolar and symmetric bipolar sub-microsecond pulses (7 kV/cm × 300 ns × 250, 1 MHz) for CaECT including their capacity to modulate antitumor immunity in a moderately immunogenic murine breast cancer model. Standard microsecond protocol (1.5 kV/cm × 100 μs × 8 pulses at 1 Hz) was used as a reference.
