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

This study presents a non-invasive three-dimensional cell manipulation technique based on acoustic microfluidic chips, which generates acoustic flow fields through the vibration of micropillars induced by bulk acoustic waves to achieve precise multi-dimensional rotational manipulation of cells. Moreover, the characteristics of the acoustic flow field under linear, quasi-circular, elliptical, and higher-order vibration modes were intensively studied, and the rotational manipulation performance of polystyrene microbeads and cancer cells was optimized by adjusting the frequency and voltage. The results showed that the rotational speed and direction of the particles varied significantly in different vibration modes, with the particles and cells achieving the highest rotational speed in the elliptical vibration mode (frequency: 44.9 kHz, and voltage: 60 Vpp). In addition, the technique successfully achieved in-plane and out-of-plane rotation of cancer cells, and cell viability tests showed that 94% of the cells remained active after manipulation, demonstrating the low damage and biocompatibility of the method. This study provides a new, efficient, precise and gentle approach to three-dimensional manipulation of cells, which holds significant potential in biomedical research and clinical applications.
