A Microfluidic Device for Imaging Samples from Microbial Suspension Cultures.
Article in MethodsX, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Traditional methods to assess microbial cells during suspension culture require laborious and frequent manual sampling. Approaches to automate sampling and assessment utilize dedicated, sophisticated equipment and suffer from a lack of temporal resolution and sampling efficiency. In this study we describe a simple microfluidic device that allows microbial cells to be sampled from suspension culture and rapidly slowed and concentrated for single-cell imaging on a standard laboratory microscope. We demonstrate a device that: •slows and concentrates microbial cells, specifically budding yeast, sampled from suspension culture and improves imaging of individual cells by concentrating them in a single focal plane•provides imaging quality and temporal resolution that is capable of monitoring dynamic spatiotemporal processes, such as nuclear localization of a protein•is inexpensive and simple enough to be fabricated and used in laboratories equipped for standard molecular and cellular biology.
