Low-cost programable stroboscopic illumination with sub-microsecond pulses for high-throughput microfluidic applications.
Article in HardwareX, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
To visualize fast-moving objects in microfluidic applications, the image acquisition time must be on the order of a microsecond or less. Commercial imaging systems capable of such short exposure times may be too expensive for many research laboratories. We have therefore developed a low-cost stroboscopic illumination for transmitted-light microscopy based on a high-power LED that can be coupled to a standard industrial camera and provides exposure times on the order of 500 ns. The system is designed to be easily mounted on a standard condenser of an inverted microscope. The illumination is controlled by a fast Arduino-compatible Teensy® 4.0 development board, and the illumination parameters can be set from a PC via a graphical user interface written in Python. The system has been successfully used for high-throughput cell phenotyping using deformability cytometry on a Nikon TE2000 microscope, as well as for droplet microfluidic on an old Olympus inverted microscope.
