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

Solid state nanochannels provide significant practical advantages in many fields due to their interesting properties, such as controllable shape and size, robustness, ion selectivity. But their complex preparation processes severely limit their application. In this study, a simple cost-effective method to fabricate single nanochannel by embedding a single polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofiber is presented. Firstly, PEO nanofibers are prepared by electrospinning, and then a single PEO nanofiber are precisely transferred to the target sample using a micromanipulation platform. Then, PDMS is used for embedding, and finally, the PEO nanofiber is dissolved to obtain a single nanochannel. Unlike other methods of preparing nanochannels by embedding nanofibers, this method can prepare single nanochannel. The diameter of nanochannel can be as fine as 100 nm, and the length can reach several micrometers. The power generation between two potassium chloride solutions with various combinations of concentrations was investigated using the nanochannel. This low-cost flexible nanochannel can also be used in various applications, including DNA sequencing and biomimetic ion channel.
