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

Electrical impedance sensing offers a powerful, non-invasive method for real-time monitoring of cellular behaviour; with applications spanning immunology, cancer biology and drug discovery. Adoption of impedance-sensing approaches has been accelerated by the commercial availability of the ECIS, xCELLigence, ScioSpec and cellZscope platforms; however, the complexity and volume of impedance datasets produced has limited rigorous analysis. vascr, an open-source R-based toolkit designed to streamline the processing of impedance sensing datasets was created to facilitate rapid and simplified handling of cellular impedance sensing data. vascr can import multi-frequency data from multiple instrument manufacturers and includes robust analysis tools for resampling, outlier detection, and statistical testing using ANOVA and cross-correlation. Using the vascr workflow, impedance sensing data can be rapidly and robustly interpreted, allowing for real-time investigation of the effects of biological agents on cellular processes such as endothelial barrier integrity.
