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

We report the fabrication and characterisation of magnetic liquid beads with a solid magnetic shell and liquid core using microfluidic techniques. The liquid beads consist of a fluorinated oil core and a polymer shell with magnetite particles. The beads are generated in a flow-focusing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) device and cured by photo polymerisation. We investigated the response of the liquid beads to an external magnetic field by characterising their motion towards a permanent magnet. Magnetic sorting of liquid beads in a channel was achieved with 90% efficiency. The results show that the liquid beads can be controlled magnetically and have potential applications in digital microfluidics including nucleic acid amplification, drug delivery, cell culture, sensing, and tissue engineering. The present paper also discusses the magnetophoretic behaviour of the liquid bead by varying its mass and magnetite concentration in the shell. We also demonstrated the two-dimensional self-assembly of magnetic liquid beads for potential use in digital polymerase chain reaction and digital loop mediated isothermal amplification.
