Soft trapping and manipulation of cells using a disposable nanoliter biochamber.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2006. 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
Low-power continuous-wave laser radiation is used to form a very stable microbubble at the end of a specially etched and metalized optical fiber probe. We demonstrate that the microbubble, which is firmly attached to the fiber probe, can be used to benignly trap and manipulate living swine sperm cells as well as human embryonic kidney cells. The lifetime of the microbubble has been prolonged and the gaseous environment inside the bubble controlled using micropipette gas injection. The controlled fusion of two microbubbles is demonstrated as a means of transferring microparticles from one bubble to another. These experiments lay the foundation for the use of the microbubble as a mobile, nanoliter-volume disposable biochamber for cellular studies.
