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
In this article we describe new hybrid microfluidic acoustic devices (HMADs) composed of two types of materials: soft elastic lateral walls made of Parafilm® that include a channel, and rigid top and bottom walls consisting of a glass slide and a glass coverslip. Depending on the selected vibration frequency of two small piezoelectric transducers, these HMADs can operate as Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) or as Flexural Plate Wave (FPW) devices, which induce either levitating circular or linear particle aggregates at higher frequencies when operating as BAW-like devices, or at acoustic frequencies close to those of the transducer's thickness mode when operating as FPW-like devices. The use of a soft, elastic material permits a range of different geometrical channel configurations. These HMADs in the BAW-like mode induce the formation of very stable aggregates, and in the FPW-like mode allow manipulation and control of the position or angular motion of particles and cells with micrometric precision when a phase change is induced between the two transducers.
