Effect of the crossing-structure sequence on mixing performance within three-dimensional micromixers.
Article in Biomicrofluidics, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
The geometry of crossing structure formed by two-layer microchannels determines the axial and transverse movements of contact interface between two liquid streams, which gives us a new method for promoting the micromixers. Hence, we designed four different three-dimensional micromixers by selecting two different crossing structures as basic units (one unit is a crossing structure called "X" and the other is a reversed crossing structure called "rX"). In order to find out how the crossing-structure sequence affects the mixing performance within three-dimensional micromixers, we organized these four mixers in different ways, i.e., the first combination is X-rX-X-rX-…, the second is X-rX-rX-X-…, the third is X-X-rX-X-…, and the last one is X-X-X-X…. Consequently, quite distinct mixing phenomena are engendered. Furthermore, experiments were also conducted using the first and the last models to verify the simulation results. We infer that the last mixer is more likely to trigger chaos and convection by rotating the contact surface than the first one that merely swings the surface even when the flow rates and viscosities of the two liquid streams are increased.
