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

Carbon-fiber microelectrodes (CFMEs) are typically constructed from glass capillaries pulled to a fine taper or from a polyimide-coated capillary that is 90 μm in outer diameter. Here, a new fabrication method is developed to insulate carbon-fiber microelectrodes with a thin epoxy coating. A polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) mold was laser etched with channels 30-40 μm deep and wide and each channel filled with Armstrong C7 epoxy. A carbon fiber was laid into each channel so that the fiber extended past the mold, and the epoxy cured in an oven. One end of the fiber was trimmed to about 100 μm to form a cylindrical carbon-fiber microelectrode, while the other end was attached to a pin and connected to a potentiostat. Epoxy-insulated electrodes were tested with fast-scan cyclic voltammetry. For dopamine, the sensitivity is similar to glass and polyimide-coated capillary electrodes with a linear range of 0.1 to 10 μM and a LOD of 24 nM. SU-8 epoxy was tested as an alternative insulator because it cures at a lower temperature using light, but it was more brittle. Carbon nanotube fibers were also successfully insulated with epoxy. Epoxy- insulated CFMEs were used to detect stimulated dopamine release
