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

Microstructured functional materials such as microfibers and microparticles are widely used for a myriad of applications. Precise manipulation of the functional components and structure is important for the microstructured functional materials to achieve desired functions for advanced application. This review highlights the recent progress on the controllable microfluidic fabrication of microstructured functional materials from liquid templates. First, microfluidic strategies for controllable generation of liquid templates including laminar jets and emulsion droplets are introduced. Then, strategies for fabricating microfibers and microparticles with diverse structures and advanced functions from the liquid templates are highlighted. These strategies mainly focus on precisely engineering the functional components and microstructures of the microfibers and microparticles by tailoring those of their liquid templates to achieve desired advanced functions. Finally, future development of microfluidic techniques for industrial-scale production of the microstructured functional materials is discussed.
