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-resolved luminescence enables high sensitivity measurements and determination of radiative lifetimes for a number of applications. The combination of time-resolved luminescence with droplet microfluidic systems creates a powerful combination of high sensitivity detection and multiplexing capabilities with high throughput sampling. This study introduces a platform for time resolved luminescence detection from a millisecond lifetime dye, CoraFluor-1-PFP (CRF-1), in microfluidic systems to further increase multiplexing applications. Optimized excitation and emission parameters was a 50 Hz (60% duty cycle) excitation cycle using a 340 nm LED combined with an 8 ms emission window. Using these parameters, the lifetime of CRF-1 was found to be 2.9 ms. These parameters were applied to a droplet microfluidic system where aqueous CRF-1 was dispersed into a fluorinated oil carrier phase. Droplet frequencies of 0.15, 0.85, and 1.85 Hz were evaluated by summation of the photon counts from each LED excitation cycle, revealing the droplet dynamics. Using this excitation and emission scheme, droplet rise times as short as 60 ms could be determined, indicating that even more rapid droplet frequencies are feasible. This platform advances time resolved luminescence assays toward automated and high-throughput analysis.
