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 demonstrate a glass microwave microfluidic device for determining the permittivity of a wide range of liquid chemicals from 100 MHz to 30 GHz with associated uncertainties. Conventional microwave microfluidic devices use polymer-based microfluidic layers for fluid delivery, but these polymers swell in organic solvents and are not suitable for many applications. Our device incorporates glass microfluidic channels with platinum coplanar waveguides (CPWs) to provide a solvent-resistant architecture for broadband dielectric spectroscopy. We utilize broadband scattering parameter measurements with a vector network analyzer (VNA) on a wafer probing station and multiline thru-reflect-line (mTRL) calibrations to extract the distributed circuit parameters of transmission lines and solve for fluid permittivity. In this work, we demonstrate the utility of the device by measuring the permittivity of four organic solvents difficult to measure otherwise: hexane, heptane, decane, and toluene.
