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

Single-cell studies offer rich insights into the cellular heterogeneity and function, providing a promising approach for precise diagnostics and personalized treatments. Single-cell research involves initial screening and in-depth analysis. Among available techniques, optoelectronic tweezers (OETs) stand out, offering a noncontact, gentle method that enables flexible, directional control of single cells through dynamic optical patterns. OET is effective in both screening and analysis. This review first introduces the sorting and analysis techniques used in single-cell research and then delves into the principles and development of OET technology, followed by the current achievements of OET in advanced single-cell research. Finally, it discusses and prospects the potential development of OET in the context of single-cell research applications.
