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

Liquid crystal display (LCD) printing is evolving into a ground-breaking technique in the biological domain, demonstrating the benefits of fabricating low-cost, high-resolution, complex geometry in bulk compared to the time-consuming and labour-intensive lithography techniques. However, the exploration of 3D-printed microfluidic devices for bioremediation and biofilm formation remains underrepresented in the current literature. This article describes the validation of a cost-effective LCD-printed microfluidic device that was employed as a biofilm-assisted carrier for the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons in refinery sludge. Our technology surpasses current bioremediation approaches by providing a degrading surface that differs from standard methods relying solely on particulate carriers. A novel microbial consortium comprising four hydrocarbon-degrading strains (
