Flexible liquid-diode microtubes from multimodal microfluidics.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Directional transport of liquids is of great importance in energy saving, chemical/biomedical engineering, and microfluidics applications. Despite considerable progress in engineering different open surfaces to achieve liquid manipulation, the realization of diode-like liquid transport in enclosed spaces is still challenging. Here, a flexible diode microtube is presented for directional liquid transport within confined spaces using pulsed microfluidics. The microtubes exhibit sophisticated microstructures on the inner wall, replicated from a precisely controlled flow configuration in the microfluidic channel. Under the effect of asymmetric pinning and unbalanced Laplace pressure, such microtubes enable directional liquid transport in closed channels. More importantly, by integrating in situ flow lithography with the microfluidic system, segmented liquid diodes are fabricated as assembly units for the construction of fluidic-electronic circuits that perform logic operations. These results demonstrate the capacity of the present liquid-diode microtubes for flexible, directional, and programmable liquid transport. We believe that it can open an avenue for designing advanced fluidic circuit-based devices toward versatile practical applications.
