Enhancement of solute diffusion in microdroplets using microrotors under rotational magnetic field.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
In vertical contact control (VCC), a microdroplet array selectively contacts with an opposite microdroplet array. Generally, VCC is useful for the dispenser mechanism based on solute diffusion between microdroplet pairs. However, sedimentation due to gravity can cause an inhomogeneous distribution of solutes in microdroplets. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance solute diffusion to achieve the accurate dispensing of a large quantity of solute in the direction opposite to that of gravity. Herein, we applied a rotational magnetic field to the microrotors in microdroplets to enhance the solute diffusion in microdroplets. Driven by microrotors, the rotational flow can generate a homogeneous distribution of solutes in microdroplets. We analyzed the diffusion dynamics of solutes using a phenomenological model, and the results showed that the rotation of microrotors can increase the diffusion constant of solutes.
