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

Microdroplet injection systems, which introduce single cells into an inductively coupled plasma by encapsulating them in droplets, have been developed by several research groups, including our group. In our laboratory, to improve the analytical sensitivity, a droplet desolvation system using a ribbon heater has achieved an approximately tenfold improvement in sensitivity. However, the desolvation throughput was limited to 100 Hz because of the low heat-transfer efficiency associated with indirect of indirect heating via heated gas. In this paper, a novel desolvation device using infrared radiation was developed to improve the desolvation throughput. Infrared radiation enables direct and efficient droplet heating. The developed device comprises a heating section and a cooling section. An infrared lamp with a luminous length of 140 mm was used in the heating section. Infrared radiation was focused on the flight axis of the droplets to enhance irradiation efficiency. The cooling section was placed downstream of the heating section to condense and remove vapor. With a power of 1000 W applied to the lamp and a carrier gas flow rate of 0.1 L min
