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

To understand the mechanisms driving fluid flow behavior in nanofluidics so that they may be used for on-chip biomedical and chemical applications, the fluid's motion itself needs to be observable and measurable, a difficult challenge at these small scales. We present a new method for measuring both slow and fast flows in nanofluidics using high-speed digital holographic microscopy. We measure the evaporation-driven flow in 25 and 7 nm tall nanoslit channels, showing that the consequent flow speed is about 15 times slower than open atmospheric evaporation due to the confinement of the nanoslit channel. We also measured the surface acoustic wave-driven flow in the 25 nm channel, showing flow at a speed of 0.12 m/s from acoustic wave propagation at 39.7 MHz interacting with the fluid in the channel. A process to eliminate the many sources of noise to produce these results is provided, showing that─in particular─spatial averaging is useful to determine the fluid flow and the dewetting of the fluid in the nanoslit channel over time.
