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

Digital microfluidics represents an emerging versatile platform that offers numerous advantages in biomolecule detection. However, conventional probes often lack high-intensity and high-sensitivity signals, making it challenging for precise and automatic analysis. Recently, optical microresonators stand as a prominent high-sensitivity detection in the biological field. Here we introduce whispering gallery mode (WGM) microlasers into the microwell array, forming a digital lasing detection system. The lasing signal makes it highly sensitive, which amplifies the subtle changes via the strong interactions of light and matter. The microfluidic droplet technique further allowed microlasers with uniform laser thresholds and high-throughput fabrication. We utilized this tool for the analysis of exosomes derived from tumor spheroids. We believe that this digital optofluidic system could serve as a promising tool in diverse biomolecule assays and various biomedical applications.
