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

This paper investigates the problem of an optimal sensor placement for better shape deformation sensing of a new antenna structure with embedded or attached Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors. In this paper, the deformation shape of the antenna structure is reconstructed using a strain⁻displacement transformation, according to the measured discrete strain data from limited FBG strain sensors. Moreover, a two-stage sensor placement method is proposed using a derived relative reconstruction error equation. In this method, the initial sensor locations are determined using the principal component analysis based on orthogonal trigonometric (i.e., QR) decomposition, and then a new location is sequentially added into the initial sensor locations one by one by minimizing the relative reconstruction error considering information redundancy. The numerical simulations are conducted, and the comparisons show that the proposed method is advantageous in terms of the sensor distribution and computational cost. Experimental validation is performed using an antenna experimental platform equipped with an optimal FBG strain sensor configuration, and the reconstruction results show good agreements with those measured directly from displacement sensors. The proposed method has a large potential for the strain sensor placement of complex structures, and the proposed antenna structure with FBG strain sensors can be applied to the future wing-skin antenna or flexible space-based antenna.
