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

Interest in developing paper-based devices for point-of-care diagnostics in resource-limited settings has risen remarkably in recent decades. In this paper, we demonstrate what we refer to as "high yield passive rrythrocyte removal" (HYPER) technology, which utilizes capillary forces in a unique cross-flow filtration for the separation of whole blood with performance comparable to centrifuges. As we will demonstrate, state-of-the-art passive blood separation methods implemented in paper-based systems exhibit rapid blood cell clogging on the filtration media or serum outlet and yield only about 10-30% of the total serum present in the sample. Our innovation results from the inclusion of a differentiation pad, which exploits hydrodynamic effects to reduce the formation of a fouling layer on the blood filtration membrane resulting in more than 60% serum yield with undiluted whole blood as direct input. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the HYPER technology we implement it in a lateral flow system and demonstrate the accurate quantification of vitamin A and iron levels in whole blood samples in 15 minutes.
