Microchip for Immunomagnetic Sorting of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs).
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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) isolated directly from whole blood opens new perspectives for cancer monitoring and the development of personalized treatments. However, due to their rarity among the multitude of blood cells, it remains a challenge to recover them alive with high level of purity, i.e., with few remaining white blood cells, and in a time frame compatible with the clinical context. Microfluidic chips have emerged as promising tools to address these challenges. We propose a two-step workflow including a pre-enrichment step, performed by a size-based pre-enrichment system, and a purification step, performed by an immunomagnetic chip. Here, we describe the protocol for the fabrication of the immunomagnetic microchip, the preparation of the sample, and the procedure for injection into the microchip allowing the sorting of the CTCs.
