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

Anti-Brownian electrokinetic trapping is a method for trapping single particles in liquid based on particle position measurements and the application of feedback voltages. To achieve trapping in the axial direction, information on the axial particle position is required. However, existing strategies for determining the axial position that are based on measuring the size of the first diffraction ring, theory fitting, advanced optical setups or pre-determined axial image stacks are impractical for anisotropic particles. In this work, axial electrokinetic trapping of anisotropic particles is realized in devices with planar, transparent electrodes. The trapping algorithm uses Fourier-Bessel decomposition of standard microscopy images and is learning from the correlation between applied voltages and changes in the particle appearance. No previous knowledge on the particle appearance, theory fitting or advanced optical setup is required. The particle motion in the trap and the influence of screening of the electric field on this motion are analyzed. The axial trapping method opens new possibilities for measuring properties of anisotropic or isotropic particles and forces acting on such particles.
