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

Electroosmotic pumps can deliver liquid without moving parts, making them suitable for microfluidic and lab-on-chip systems. Previously, alternating current electroosmotic pumps were constructed using pairs of coplanar asymmetrical interdigitated microelectrodes on the same substrate. In this work, a simpler micropumping system is developed, separating the electrodes on two substrates and breaking the symmetry by half-depositing electrodes with 3D microstructures. Numerical simulation models of the pumping system and experimental velocity profiles are used to explain the fluid motion mechanism and structure-dependent pumping performance. In addition to its efficiency and simplicity, this new pumping system also allows for the creation of a microvortex device and an active microfluidics device. This scalable micropumping system provides a way to pump liquids at microscopic or macroscopical scale in complex microfluidics systems.
