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

To evaluate variations of blood circulating in closed loops, hemorheological properties including blood viscosity and red blood cells (RBCs) are quantitatively measured with independent in-vitro instruments after collecting blood from a closed loop. But, most previous methods require periodic blood collections which induce several problems such as geometric differences between the fluidic channel and the in-vitro method, hemodilution, storage time, and unspecific blood flow rates. To resolve these issues, in this study, blood viscosity and RBC aggregation of blood circulating within a closed loop are measured with a microfluidic platform periodically and simultaneously. To demonstrate the proposed method,
