A pneumatic valve controlled microdevice for bioanalysis.
Article in Biomicrofluidics, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This paper describes a pneumatic valve controlled microdevice for performing mixing and reaction. This microdevice combined the degassed polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) pumping method with a syringe-actuated valve system to control the dispensing and mixing of nanoliter solutions. The syringe was used to manually generate vacuum and to open the valves. Upon the opening of the valve, the microchamber was filled with the solution, which was driven by the external atmosphere through the degassed PDMS microchannel. With this microdevice, the enzymatic kinetics of alkaline phosphatase converting the fluorescein diphosphate was studied, and the Michaelis-Menten kinetics was analyzed. The microdevice has the advantages of simplicity and low cost in fabrication and operation.
