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

A novel kind of fiber optic ultrasonic sensor based on matching fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is proposed and demonstrated. The sensors consist of a pair of matching FBGs fixed to a special bracket. The bracket plays a role in stretching and squeezing the FBGs, with the push⁻pull effect efficiently coupling the ultrasonic signal to the sensor, thus, improving the sensor’s sensitivity. Side-band filtering technology-based intensity interrogation was used to detect ultrasounds in water. With the synergic effect of the matching FBGs, the sensor performed with a high signal-to-noise ratio (56.9 dB at 300 KHz, 53 dB at 1 MHz and 31.8 dB at 5 MHz) and the observed ultrasonic sinusoidal signals were undistorted and distinguishable in the time domain.
