Towards PCB-Based Miniaturized Thermocyclers for DNA Amplification.
Article in Micromachines, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
In recent years, printed circuit board (PCB)-based microfluidics have been explored as a means to achieve standardization, seamless integration, and large-scale manufacturing of microfluidics, thus paving the way for widespread commercialization of developed prototypes. In this work, static micro polymerase chain reaction (microPCR) devices comprising resistive microheaters integrated on PCBs are introduced as miniaturized thermocyclers for efficient DNA amplification. Their performance is compared to that of conventional thermocyclers, in terms of amplification efficiency, power consumption and duration. Exhibiting similar efficiency to conventional thermocyclers, PCB-based miniaturized thermocycling achieves faster DNA amplification, with significantly smaller power consumption. Simulations guide the design of such devices and propose means for further improvement of their performance.
