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

Defect-engineered photonic crystal (PC) microcavities were fabricated by UV photolithography and their corresponding sensitivities to biomarkers in patient plasma samples were compared for different resonant microcavity characteristics of quality factor Q and biomarker fill fraction. Three different biomarkers in plasma from pancreatic cancer patients were experimentally detected by conventional L13 defect-engineered microcavities without nanoholes and higher sensitivity L13 PC microcavities with nanoholes. 8.8 femto-molar (0.334 pg/mL) concentration of pancreatic cancer biomarker in patient plasma samples was experimentally detected which are 50 times dilution than ELISA in a PC microcavity with high quality factor and high analyte fill fraction.
