A Micropillar Array Based Microfluidic Device for Rare Cell Detection and Single-Cell Proteomics.
Article in Methods and protocols, 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
Advancements in single-cell-related technologies have opened new possibilities for analyzing rare cells, such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and rare immune cells. Among these techniques, single-cell proteomics, particularly single-cell mass spectrometric analysis (scMS), has gained significant attention due to its ability to directly measure transcripts without the need for specific reagents. However, the success of single-cell proteomics relies heavily on efficient sample preparation, as protein loss in low-concentration samples can profoundly impact the analysis. To address this challenge, an effective handling system for rare cells is essential for single-cell proteomic analysis. Herein, we propose a microfluidics-based method that offers highly efficient isolation, detection, and collection of rare cells (e.g., CTCs). The detailed fabrication process of the micropillar array-based microfluidic device is presented, along with its application for CTC isolation, identification, and collection for subsequent proteomic analysis.
