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

Measuring sodium ion concentration in breast milk can provide crucial health information for both mother and infant, including early signs of low-grade infection and reduced milk supply. Traditional sensing methods are slow, bulky, expensive, and require skilled operators. Here, we develop a coverslip-sized, high-precision lab-on-a-chip device that processes and detects sodium ions in human breast milk. The device uses micro-electrodialysis to extract sodium ions into a simple acceptor solution with 92 ± 3% efficiency and employs a graphene ion-selective sensor for high-performance quantification. We demonstrate a straightforward calibration strategy, enabling the device to measure breast-milk sodium ion levels in 141 seconds, with accuracy comparable to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Our approach offers a promising pathway to efficient, point-of-care diagnosis of conditions associated with metal-ion levels in complex liquid-biopsy samples.
