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

Microfluidic pump is an essential component in lab-on-chip applications. It is of importance to develop an active microfluidic pump with low-power and low-cost characteristics for portable and miniaturized diagnostic systems. Taking advantages of CMOS technologies, in this work, we report a low-power microfluidic pump based on travelling-wave electroosmosis (TWEO). Utilizing an integrated driving circuit, this monolithic CMOS microfluidic pump can be operated at 1.5 V driving voltage with a power consumption of 1.74 mW. The integrated driving circuit consist of a resistor-capacitor (RC) oscillator, a 90-degrees phase-shift square wave generator, and buffer amplifiers. Moreover, capabilities of the developed CMOS TWEO pump to drive diluted human serum are characterized. The flow rate of diluted human serum with dilution ratio of 1:1000 can achieve 51 μm/s. This is the first time demonstrating an in-situ CMOS-based microfluidic pump to drive the clinical diluted serum sample. As a consequence, this work demonstrates an essential component of CMOS biotechnologies for potential applications of portable in vitro diagnosis (IVD) systems.
