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

Automatic microfluidic purification of nucleic acid is predictable to reduce the input of original samples and improve the throughput of library preparation for sequencing. Here, we propose a novel microfluidic system using an external NdFeB magnet to isolate DNA from the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) mixture. The DNA was purified and isolated when the DNA-carrying beads transported to the interface of multi-laminar flow under the influence of magnetic field. Prior to the DNA recovery experiments, COMSOL simulations were carried out to study the relationship between trajectory of beads and magnet positions as well as fluid velocities. Afterwards, the experiments to study the influence of varying velocities and input of samples on the DNA recovery were conducted. Compared to experimental results, the relative error of the final position of beads is less than 10%. The recovery efficiency decreases with increase of input or fluid velocity, and the maximum DNA recovery efficiency is 98.4% with input of l00 ng DNA at fluid velocity of 1.373 mm/s. The results show that simulations significantly reduce the time for parameter adjustment in experiments. In addition, this platform uses a basic two-layer chip to realize automatic DNA isolation without any other liquid switch value or magnet controller.
