Advanced microfluidic systems with temperature modulation for biological applications.
Article in Biomicrofluidics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Recent advances in microfluidic technology have shown the importance of precise temperature control in a wide range of biological applications. This perspective review presents a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art microfluidic platforms that utilize thermal modulation for various applications, such as rapid nucleic acid amplification, targeted hyperthermia for cancer therapy, and efficient cellular lysis. We detail various heating mechanisms-including nanoparticle-driven induction, photothermal conversion, and electrothermal approaches (both external and on-chip)-and discuss how they are integrated within lab-on-a-chip systems. In parallel, advanced multi-modal sensing methods within microfluidics, ranging from conventional integrated sensors to cutting-edge quantum-based techniques using nanodiamond nitrogen-vacancy centers and suspended microchannel resonators, are highlighted. By integrating advanced multi-modal sensing capabilities into these microfluidic platforms, a broader range of applications are enabled, including single-cell analysis, metabolic profiling, and scalable diagnostics. Looking ahead, overcoming challenges in system integration, scalability, and cost-effectiveness will be essential to harnessing their full potential. Future developments in this field are expected to drive the evolution of lab-on-a-chip technologies, ultimately enabling breakthroughs in precision medicine and high-throughput biomedical applications.
