Concentric electrodes improve microfluidic droplet sorting.
Article in Lab on a chip, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Microfluidic droplet sorting allows selection of subpopulations of cells, nucleic acids, and biomolecules with soluble assays. Dielectrophoresis is widely used for sorting because it generates strong forces on droplets, actuates rapidly, and is easy to integrate into microfluidic chips. However, existing device designs apply a short force, limiting the deflection of droplets, and therefore the speed and reliability of sorting. We describe a concentric design that applies a long force, allowing large deflections and increased reliability. We demonstrate the utility of this design by sorting polydisperse emulsions, which are typically difficult to sort with high purity.
