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
The integration of a microfluidic chip into terahertz time-domain attenuated total reflection (THz TD-ATR) spectroscopy is highly demanded for the accurate measurement of aqueous samples. Hitherto, however little work has been reported on this regard. Here, we demonstrate a strategy of fabricating a polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic chip (M-chip) suitable for the measurement of aqueous samples, and investigate the effects of its configuration, particularly the cavity depth of the M-chip on THz spectra. By measuring pure water, we find that the Fresnel formulae of two-interface model should be applied to analyze the THz spectral data when the depth is smaller than 210 μm, but the Fresnel formula of one-interface model can be applied when the depth is no less than 210 μm. We further validate this by measuring physiological solution and protein solution. This work can help promote the application of THz TD-ATR spectroscopy in the study of aqueous biological samples.
