A low cost, membranes based serum separator modular.
Article in Biomicrofluidics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
To fulfill the requirement of sample preparation in a microfluidic analysis system designed for "sample in, answer out" testing which was urgently needed by resource limited clinical facilities, we proposed a critical low cost, membrane-based serum separator design in this article. With a specially designed microchip, this device can easily separate serum from the whole blood sample in 5 min. Different from techniques which have been reported earlier, this approach does not require either centrifugation or sample dilution which may cause hemolysis or decreased testing sensitivity.
