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

A miniaturized, biomarker-based diagnostic for preterm birth (PTB) risk will require multiple sample preparation steps to be integrated in a single platform. To this end, we created a 3D printed microfluidic device that combines immunoaffinity extraction (IAE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), and fluorescent labeling. This device uses an antibody-functionalized IAE monolith to selectively extract PTB biomarkers, a lauryl methacrylate reverse-phase SPE monolith to concentrate and facilitate fluorescent labeling of PTB biomarkers, and 3D printed valves to control flow through the monoliths. The advantageous iterative design process for arriving at a functional device is documented. The IAE/SPE device performed selective, reproducible extractions of three PTB biomarkers from buffer and depleted maternal blood serum, demonstrating its utility for single-biomarker and multiplexed extractions. After tandem extraction and fluorescent labeling, biomarkers eluted from the SPE monolith in a concentrated plug, facilitating future integration with downstream analysis techniques including microchip electrophoresis. This device effectively combines and automates orthogonal chromatographic extraction methods and constitutes a substantial step toward a complete microfluidic PTB prediction platform.
