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

Cell-free DNA has many applications in clinical medicine, in particular in cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment monitoring. Microfluidic-based solutions could provide solutions for rapid, cheaper, decentralized detection of cell-free tumoral DNA from a simple blood draw, or liquid biopsies, replacing invasive procedures or expensive scans. In this method, we present a simple microfluidic system for the extraction of cell-free DNA from low volume of plasma samples (≤500 μL). The technique is suitable for either static or continuous flow systems and can be used as a stand-alone module or integrated within a lab-on-chip system. The system relies on a simple yet highly versatile bubble-based micromixer module whose custom components can be fabricated with a combination of low-cost rapid prototyping techniques or ordered via widely available 3D-printing services. This system is capable of performing cell-free DNA extractions from small volumes of blood plasma with up to a tenfold increase in capture efficiency when compared to control methods.
