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 demonstrate a method for fabricating and utilizing an optofluidic particle manipulator on a silicon chip that features a 300 nm thick silicon dioxide membrane as part of a microfluidic channel. The fabrication method is based on etching silicon channels and converting the walls to silicon dioxide through thermal oxidation. Channels are encapsulated by a sacrificial polymer which fills the length of the fluid channel by way of spontaneous capillary action. The sacrificial material is then used as a mold for the formation of a nanoscale, solid-state, silicon dioxide membrane. The hollow channel is primarily used for fluid and particle transport but is capable of transmitting light over short distances and utilizes radiation pressure for particle trapping applications. The optofluidic platform features solid-core ridge waveguides which can direct light on and off of the silicon chip and intersect liquid channels. Optical loss values are characterized for liquid and solid-core structures and at interfaces. Estimates are provided for the optical power needed to trap particles of various sizes.
