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

We present fluorescent Janus hydrogel microbeads for continuous glucose sensing with pH calibration. The Janus hydrogel microbeads, that consist of fluorescent glucose and pH sensors, were fabricated with a UV-assisted centrifugal microfluidic device. The microbead can calibrate the pH values of its surroundings and enables accurate measurements of glucose within various pH conditions. As a proof of concept, we succeeded in obtaining the accurate value of glucose concentration in a body-fluid-like sample solution. We believe that our fluorescent microbeads, with pH calibration capability, could be applied to fully implantable sensors for continuous glucose monitoring.
