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

Solid-state nanopores are an emerging biosensor for nucleic acid and protein characterization. For use in a clinical setting, solid-state nanopore sensing requires sample preparation and purification, fluid handling, a heating element, electrical noise insulators, and an electrical readout detector, all of which hamper its translation to a point-of-care diagnostic device. A stand-alone microfluidic-based nanopore device is described that combines a bioassay reaction/purification chamber with a solid-state nanopore sensor. The microfluidic device is composed of the high-temperature/solvent resistance Zeonex plastic, formed via micro-machining and heat bonding, enabling the use of both a heat regulator and a magnetic controller. Fluid control through the microfluidic channels and chambers is controlled via fluid port selector valves and allows up-to eight different solutions. Electrical noise measurements and DNA translocation experiments demonstrate the integrity of the device, with performance comparable to a conventional stand-alone nanopore setup. However, the microfluidic-nanopore setup is superior in terms of ease of use. To showcase the utility of the device, single molecule detection of a DNA PCR product, after magnetic bead DNA separation, is accomplished on chip.
