Hematocrit skewness along sequential bifurcations within a microfluidic network induces significant changes in downstream red blood cell partitioning.
Article in Biomicrofluidics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
There has been a wealth of research conducted regarding the partitioning of red blood cells (RBCs) at bifurcations within the microvasculature. In previous studies, partitioning has been characterized as either regular partitioning, in which the higher flow rate daughter channel receives a proportionally larger percentage of RBCs, or reverse partitioning, in which the opposite occurs. While there are many examples of network studies
