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

Comprehensive liver function monitoring is vital for liver damage diagnoses. However, multiplexed testing with clinical accuracy often requires paralleled liquid manipulation to avoid reagent interference and nonspecific adsorption, making it restricted to centralized facilities and specialists. Here, we report an equipment-free, quantitative, and multiplexed point-of-care testing (POCT), the energy-embodied POCT (EE-POCT). The driving energy (pressured gas) and liquid reagents are embodied in separate rigid-flexible chambers through a mechanical pressure sensing mechanism to achieve a paralleled, interference-free, and multiple-reagent operation with no need for external equipment. The EE-POCT achieves quantitative results for nine liver-related indicators from 180 microliters of whole blood within 4 minutes. Validated with 103 clinical specimens, it shows high concordance with a clinical gold standard analyzer (Pearson coefficients >0.9). The EE-POCT platform not only advances liver health diagnostics but also sets a precedent for developing versatile, accessible medical technologies that can significantly affect global health outcomes.
