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 simple modification to traditional confocal fluorescence detection that greatly improves signal-to-noise (s/n) for the high-speed analysis of droplet streams. Rather than using the conventional epi geometry, illumination of the droplet was in the form of a line that is orthogonal to both the direction of flow and the light-collection objective. In contrast to the epi geometry where we observed high levels of scattering background from the droplets, we detected more than 10-fold less background (depending on the laser power used) when orthogonal-line-confocal illumination was used. We characterized this improvement using a standard microfluidic platform over a range of analyte concentrations and observed an improvement in limits of detection of greater than 10. Using this method, we were able to analyze picomolar concentrations of analytes contained within picoliter-volume droplets at a rate of greater than 350 droplets per second.
