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

Microfluidic devices with a free-standing structure were printed directly on polymer films using the functional materials that form interconnected pores. The printed devices can transport fluids by capillary action in the same fashion as paper-based microfluidic devices, and they can handle much smaller sample volumes than typical paper-based devices. Detection of glucose was performed using both colorimetric and electrochemical methods, and the observed limits of detection (LOD) were similar to those obtained with paper-based microfluidic devices under comparable testing conditions. It is demonstrated that printed microfluidic devices can be fabricated using printing processes that are suitable for high-volume and low-cost production and that the integration of microfluidic channels with electrodes is straightforward with printing. Several materials that are printable and form interconnected pores are presented.
