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

Microneedles (MNs) offer a simple and minimally invasive way to sample skin interstitial fluid for bioanalysis. Through the integration with portable or wearable sensing devices, it allows us to get qualitative information about some biomarkers in situ. This work is to show a MN platform with open groove channels that are manufactured using photopolymerization 3D printing. The grooves on the needle surface permit that liquid flows from the tips to the base under the influence of capillary force. The ultimate MN device can penetrate skin and tissues and sample liquid in the skin model. By taking the glucose as the model biomarker, we demonstrate that the biomarkers in the extracted liquid can be analyzed in situ by the commercial test strips attached to the back.
