Optimization of makerspace microfabrication techniques and materials for the realization of planar, 3D printed microelectrode arrays in under four days.
Article in RSC advances, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Conventional two-dimensional microelectrode arrays (2D MEAs) in the market involve long manufacturing timeframes, have cleanroom requirements, and need to be assembled from multiple parts to obtain the final packaged device. For MEAs to be "used and tossed", manufacturing has to be moved from the cleanroom to makerspaces. In order to enable makerspace fabricated MEAs comparable to conventional MEAs, the microfabrication processes must be optimized to have similar electrical properties along with biocompatibility and number of recording sites. This work presents a makerspace microfabricated 2D MEA having electrode densities up to a commercially popular 8 × 8 array, all fabricated under four days. Additive manufacturing-based realization of the MEA devices provides immense flexibility in terms of meeting distinct design requirements. A unique non-planar MEA having meso-scale electrodes on the top side of a chip transitioning to traces onto the bottom side through electrical vias is presented in this work. This allows for (a) monolithic integration of a culture well for devices having up to a 6 × 6 MEA array, (b) selective electroplating of the meso-scale electrodes (500 μm diameter) defined by silver ink casting followed by pulsed electroplating of gold or platinum without any masking procedure, (c) casting of a uniform and planar insulation layer
