Article in Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Microfluidic-based biosensors have been developed for their precise automatic reaction control. However, these biosensors require external devices that are difficult to transport and use. To overcome this disadvantage, our group made an easy-to-use, cheap, and light pumpless three-dimensional photo paper-based microfluidic analytical device (3D-μPAD; weight: 1.5 g). Unlike conventional paper-based microfluidic analytical devices, the 3D-μPAD can be used to control fluid flow in a 3D manner, thus allowing sophisticated multi-step reaction control. This device can control fluid flow speed and direction accurately using only the capillary-driven flow without an external device like a pump. The flow speed is controlled by the width of the microfluidic channel and its surface property. In addition, fluid speed control and 3D-bridge structure enable the control of fluid flow direction. Using these methods, multi-step enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can be done automatically in sequence by injecting solutions (sample, washing, and enzyme's substrate) at the same time in the 3D-μPAD. All the steps can be performed in 14 min, and data can be analyzed immediately. To test this device, thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1), a biomarker of breast cancer, is used as the target. In the 3D-μPAD, it can detect 0-200 ng/mL of Trx-1, and the prepared 3D-μPAD Trx-1 sensor displays excellent selectivity. Moreover, by analyzing the concentration of Trx-1 in real patients and healthy individuals' blood serum samples using the 3D-μPAD, and comparing results to ELISA, it can be confirmed that the 3D-μPAD is a good tool for cancer diagnosis.
