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 surface-acoustic-wave-driven microactuator that allows separation of the piezoelectric substrate and chip has been fabricated and characterized. By simply placing the microactuator on a disposable chip, the microactuator did not contaminate the substrate with any reagent and could easily transport droplets and powders. The microactuator also allowed mixing of heterophase materials, such as powder and droplets, in a microfluidic well to increase their chemical reaction. This microactuator will enable significant cost savings and automation of plants and research facilities.
