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

Droplet-based microfluidics is a technology that generates and manipulates highly uniform droplets, ranging from picoliter to nanoliter droplets, in microchannels under precise control. In biological research, each droplet can be used to encapsulate a small group of cells or even a single cell, and then serve as an individual container for biochemical reaction, which is well suited for high-throughput and high-resolution biochemical analysis. In the field of microbial research, from cultivation and identification of microbes to the investigation of the spatiotemporal dynamics of microbial communities, from precise quantitation of microbiota to systematic study of microbial interactions, and from the isolation of rare and unculturable microbes to the development of genetically engineered strains, droplet microfluidic technology has played an important promotional role in all these aspects. Droplet microfluidics shows potential for becoming a basic tool for exploring single-cell microbes in microbiological research. In this review, we gave a brief overview of the technical basis of droplet microfluidics. Then, we presented its latest applications in microbial research and had some discussions, aiming to provide a reference for relevant research on microorganisms.
