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

Paper-based technologies have been drawing increasing attentions in the biosensor field due to their economical, ecofriendly, and easy-to-fabricate features. In this paper, we present a time-delay valve mechanism to automate a series of procedures for conducting competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on a paper-based device. The mechanism employs a controllable time-delay valve, which has surfactants to dissolve the hydrophobic barriers, in a fluid pathway. The valves can regulate the liquid and sequentially deliver the sample flow for automating ELISA procedures in microchannels. Competitive ELISA is achieved in a single step once the sample, or small molecule pesticide (e.g., Imidacloprid), is applied onto the paper-based device with a comparable sensitivity to plate-based competitive ELISA. The results further demonstrate the appositeness of using paper-based devices with the valve designs for on-the-go ELISA detection in agriculture and biomedical applications.
