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

Nano-material integrated microfluidic platforms are increasingly being considered to accelerate biological sample preparation and molecular diagnostics. A major challenge in this context is the generation of high electric fields for electroporation of cell membranes. In this paper, we have studied a novel mechanism of generating a high electric field in the microfluidic channels by using an array of semiconductor nanowires. When an electrostatic field is applied across a semiconductor nanowire array, the electric field is localized near the nanowires and the field strength is higher than what was reported previously with various other micro-geometries. Nanowires made of ZnO, Si, and Si-SiO
