Gold Nanoparticle-Based Microfluidic Chips for Capture and Detection of Circulating Tumor Cells.
Article in Biosensors, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Liquid biopsy has progressed to its current use to diagnose and monitor cancer. Despite the recent advances in investigating cancer detection and diagnosis strategies, there is still a room for improvements in capturing CTCs. We developed an efficient CTC detection system by integrating gold nanoparticles with a microfluidic platform, which can achieve CTC capture within 120 min. Here, we report our development of a simple and effective way to isolate CTCs using antibodies attached on gold nanoparticles to the surface of a lateral filter array (LFA) microdevice. Our method was optimized using three pancreatic tumor cell lines, enabling the capture with high efficiency (90% ± 3.2%). The platform was further demonstrated for isolating CTCs from patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Our method and platform enables the production of functionalized, patterned surfaces that interact with tumor cells, enhancing the selective capture of CTCs for biological assays.
