Efficient Mixing of Microfluidic Chip with a Three-Dimensional Spiral Structure.
Article in ACS omega, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
In this paper, a helical three-dimensional (3D) passive micromixer is presented. A three-dimensional spiral passive micromixer is fabricated through the 3D printing technology and the polymer dissolution technology. The main process is as follows: First of all, a high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) material was used to make a 3D spiral channel mold. Second, the channel mold was dissolved in limonene solvent. The mixing experiment shows that the single helix structure can improve the mixing efficiency to 0.85, compared with the mixing efficiency of 0.78 in the traditional T-shaped two-dimensional (2D)-plane channel. Different screw diameters, screw number structures, and flow rates are used to test the mixing effect. The optimal helical structure is 5 mm, and the flow rate is 2.0 mL/min. Finally, the mixing efficiency of the 3D helical micromixer can reach 0.948. The results show that the three-dimensional helical structure can effectively improve the mixing efficiency.
