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

Time-course monitoring of blood biomarkers with rapid turnaround has the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis, stratification of phenotypes, and therapeutic/prognostic approaches for various acute inflammatory diseases in both clinical and preclinical studies. Current approaches, however, are hampered by slow turnaround times and large sample volume requirements, limiting the exploration of disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. Here, we developed a microfluidic digital ELISA platform prototype, combining single-molecule counting with whole blood assay capability for the first time from small animal models. This platform is semi-automated and enables repeated, rapid biomarker monitoring with just 3.5 μL of whole blood collected from the tail. Our platform demonstrated high sensitivity and multiplexity, allowing real-time cytokine profiling within a 2-h turnaround. Using a murine sepsis model, we achieved precise temporal monitoring of cytokine levels, demonstrating prognostic capability by correlating early-stage cytokine levels with a liver-injury biomarker. This microfluidic platform enables high temporal resolution and rapid monitoring of biomarker dynamics in a single mouse using freshly collected whole blood, significantly reducing the number of animals needed for preclinical studies. This technology has strong potential to transform ICU therapeutic strategies and preclinical research, enabling personalized treatment based on real-time biomarker profiles.
