Redesigning EWOD Interconnections: Inkjet-Printed PEDOT:PSS Electrodes with Enhanced Pad Access.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
EWOD fabrication is typically costly, requiring specialist microfabrication facilities, equipment and techniques like physical vapour deposition. Printed electronics methods like inkjet printing offer cheaper and faster alternatives to typical fabrication methods, and conductive polymers like PEDOT:PSS offer advantages in flexibility, cost, and transparency. We report a low-cost fabrication approach and characterise its performance against standard ITO-glass electrodes. Ink-on-paper electrodes and patterned-on-glass electrodes are restricted to a single plane, limiting the number of electrically independent electrodes on a single conductive layer. Our design and fabrication approach, employing inkjet printing and double-sided patterning, overcomes topological constraints, addressing both connectivity and cost. PEDOT:PSS is highly compatible with inkjet printing technology, and a single pass of PEDOT:PSS printing was sufficient to achieve the desired conductivity, offering a cost-effective solution for fabricating large, multilevel, flexible EWOD electrode arrays.
