Bonding of thermoplastic microfluidics by using dry adhesive tape.
Article in RSC advances, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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 study, we investigated the effects of adhesive tape structure, adhesive tape thickness (30, 60, and 80 μm), and bonding time (5 and 15 seconds) on the bonding of inflexible and flexible substrates. We performed microchannel bonding by using a manual scraper press or a hot press machine. Rapid prototyping and mass production capabilities were achieved in the dry adhesive tape bonding of polymer microfluidic systems with both the aforementioned approaches. With process control, 95.16% and 99.53% bonding coverage could be achieved for the inflexible and flexible substrates, respectively, by using a manual scraper press. When using a press machine, the bonding coverage could be further enhanced to 99.24% for the inflexible substrates and 99.81% for the flexible substrates. Due to the viscoelastic nature of the adhesive layer in the adhesive tapes, we observed Saffman-Taylor finger and air bubble formation around the microchannel under high pumping pressure. The results indicated that the probability of Saffman-Taylor finger formation was lower and the bonding pressure was higher when using the thinner adhesive tape than when using thicker tape. Moreover, due to their rigidity, the inflexible substrates exhibited a higher bonding strength than the flexible substrates did. Bonding stability tests indicated that the bonded substrates had high bonding quality and bonding strength under long-term storage of up to 60 days.
