Inertial focusing of particles and cells in the microfluidic labyrinth device: Role of sharp turns.
Article in Biomicrofluidics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Inertial, size-based focusing was investigated in the microfluidic labyrinth device consisting of several U-shaped turns along with circular loops. Turns are associated with tight curvature and, therefore, induce strong Dean forces for separating particles; however, systematic studies exploring this possibility do not exist. We characterized the focusing dynamics of different-sized rigid particles, cancer cells, and white blood cells over a range of fluid Reynolds numbers
