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

backgroundMiniaturization has not only driven microelectronics and generated new unforeseen options but has also dramatically changed sensors and analytics. DEVELOPMENTS: The Lab on a Chip (LOC) technology enables laboratory processes to run fully automated in canals in the micrometre range. The biggest challenge for LOC is to keep production costs low despite miniaturization and application-specific design. If this is achieved medical laboratory analyses can usually be carried out faster and with less hands on time. This explains why LOCs are already integrated into many laboratory instruments and why point-of-care testing (POCT) can no longer be imagined without it. New markers, such as in liquid biopsies and measurement techniques, such as Raman spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy, create further potentials that will enable faster and more specific laboratory analyses to be made using LOC technology.

conclusionThe LOC technology has the potential of changing the medical practice especially in cases when the central laboratory is not available or is unable to provide results fast enough.
