Semi-quantitative analysis of nickel: counting-based μPADs built
Article in RSC advances, 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
Excess exposure to a high environmental level of nickel can cause serious harm to human health. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to develop a low-cost, fast and sensitive method for nickel assay. In this paper, novel counting-based microfluidic paper-based devices (μPADs) were prepared by hand drawing and yellow oily double-sided adhesive tape. The dissolved adhesive tape was used for the first time to make the hydrophobic "ink". The marker filled with the "ink" drew the desirable layout on paper followed by a drying process. The μPADs were constituted of one circular sample introduction zone (diameter 4.5 mm) and four circular detection zones (diameter 3 mm). The adjoining detection zones were connected by a strip channel (1.2 mm × 2 mm). The fabrication conditions were optimized and the barriers created with the marker revealed good reproducibility. The analytical performance of the developed devices was investigated for nickel assay. The Ni
