Numerical Simulation of a Lab-on-Chip for Dielectrophoretic Separation of Circulating Tumor Cells.
Article in Micromachines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancer cells detached from tumors that enter the bloodstream with the rest of the blood cells before settling on remote organs and growing. CTCs play a major role as a target for cancer diagnosis. This study aims to propose and simulate a lab-on-chip (LOC) design that separates CTCs from white blood cells (WBCs) and blood platelets (PLTs) using low-voltage dielectrophoretic separation with high efficiency. The proposed design include two stages a passive and an active one cascaded in a compact package. Numerical simulations are performed on the COMSOL Multiphysics
