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

Microneedle (MN) is a novel technique of the biomedical engineering field because of its ability to evaluate bioinformation via minimal invasion. One of the urgent requirements for ground-breaking health care monitoring is persistent monitoring. Hollow microneedles are extremely attractive to extract skin interstitial fluid (ISF) for analysis, which makes them perfect for sensing biomarkers and facilitating diagnosis. Nevertheless, its intricate fabrication process has hampered its extensive application. The present research demonstrates an easy one-step preparation approach for hollow MNs on the foundation of the refraction index variations of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) in the process of photopolymerization. The fabricated hollow microneedle exhibited ideal mechanical characteristics to penetrate the skin. Hydrodynamic simulations showed that the liquid was risen in a hollow microneedle by capillary force. Furthermore, a paper-based glucose sensor was integrated with the hollow microneedle. We also observed that the MN array smoothly extracted ISF in vitro and in vivo by capillary action. The outcomes displayed the applicability of the MN patch to persistent blood glucose (GLU) monitoring, diagnosis-related tests for patients and pre-diabetic individuals.
