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

Biomedical devices with millimeter and micron-scaled features have been a promising approach to single-cell analysis, diagnostics, and fundamental biological and chemical studies. These devices, however, have not been able to fully embrace the advantages of additive manufacturing (AM) that offers quick prototypes and complexities not achievable via traditional 2D fabrication techniques (e.g., soft lithography). This slow adoption of AM can be attributed in part to limited material selection, resolution, and inability to easily integrate components mid-print. Here, we present the feasibility of using liquid dielectrophoresis to manipulate and shape a droplet of build material, paired with subsequent curing and stacking, to generate 3D parts. This Electric Field Fabrication (EFF) technique is an additive manufacturing method that offers advantages such as new printable materials and mixed-media parts without post-assembly for biomedical applications.
