Concept and simulation of a MEMS cycloidal mass analyzer.
Article in Microsystems & nanoengineering, 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
This study investigates the miniaturization pathway of cycloidal mass spectrometry, a technique distinguished by its inherent perfect-focusing properties, and introduces a planar, stacked-layer MEMS-based cycloidal mass analyzer. A comprehensive numerical analysis was conducted to elucidate the effects of key design parameters, namely electric sector geometry, electrode geometry, and operating vacuum, on ion focusing and mass separation performance. The results indicate that appropriate optimization of geometric dimensions and electrode arrangement density effectively mitigates electric field distortion, thereby improving ion beam focusing and resolution. Configured with an electric sector size of 32.60 mm × 41.10 mm × 6.85 mm and 83 electrode pairs, and operated under a vacuum of 1 × 10
