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

Predicting blood microflow in both simple and complex geometries is challenging because of the composition and behavior of the blood at microscale. However, characterization of the velocity in microchannels is the key for gaining insights into cellular interactions at the microscale, mechanisms of diseases, and efficacy of therapeutic solutions. Image-based measurement techniques are a subset of methods for measuring the local flow velocity that typically utilize tracer particles for flow visualization. In the most basic form, a high-speed camera and microscope setup are the only requirements for data acquisition; however, the development of image processing algorithms and equipment has made current image-based techniques more sophisticated. This mini review aims to provide a succinct and accessible overview of image-based experimental measurement techniques to characterize the velocity field of blood microflow. The following techniques are introduced: cell tracking velocimetry, kymographs, micro-particle velocimetry, and dual-slit photometry as entry techniques for measuring various velocity fields either
