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

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is an electrokinetic effect first studied in the early 20th century. Since then, DEP has gained significant interest in research, owing to its ability to solve particle separation problems in various industries. Dielectrophoretic filtration (DEP filtration) is a separation method using DEP to filter a wide range of microparticles, from bacterial cells to catalytic particles. DEP filtration can selectively separate particles based on size or dielectric properties, recover trapped particles and avoid common problems associated with mechanical filtration based on pore size (e.g. pressure drops and regular filter replacements). This review describes the simple beginnings of DEP filtration and how our understanding and applications for DEP filtration have progressed over time. A brief section of DEP theory as well as a note on the general outlook for DEP filtration in the future is presented. DEP filtration offers an exciting opportunity to selectively separate diverse particle mixtures. To achieve such a feat, technical challenges such as Joule Heating and low throughputs must be addressed.
