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

Herein we report on reliable reproducible quantification of protein analytes in human serum by fluorescence sandwich immunoassays in disposable PDMS microfluidic chips. The system requires 1,000 times less sample than typical clinical blood tests and is specifically shown to measure ferritin down to 250 pM in human serum. The in-built calibration method of spiking the serum with known concentrations of commercially available antigen avoids common sources of error and improves the reliability of the test results. The reported microfluidic system is an important new tool for fundamental scientific research, offering sensitive immunoassay measurements in small but complex biosamples. The system is also a further step towards comprehensive affordable "point-of-care" biomedical diagnostics.
