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

This paper describes a microfluidic platform for the on-demand generation of multiple aqueous droplets, with varying chemical contents or chemical concentrations, for use in droplet based experiments. This generation technique was developed as a complement to existing techniques of continuous-flow (streaming) and discrete-droplet generation by enabling the formation of multiple discrete droplets simultaneously. Here sets of droplets with varying chemical contents can be generated without running the risk of cross-contamination due to the isolated nature of each supply inlet. The use of pressure pulses to generate droplets in parallel is described, and the effect of droplet size is examined in the context of flow rates and surfactant concentrations. To illustrate this technique, an array of different dye-containing droplets was generated, as well as a set of droplets that displayed a concentration gradient of a fluorescent dye.
