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

We propose a very compact diaphragm free optical microphone consisting a tapered micro-tip in cantilever configuration for detection of low frequency acoustic signals. The change in the light coupling between the micro-tip and the source fiber caused by the acoustic pressure is utilized to detect the external acoustic signal. The sensitivity and working range of the sensor depend on three key factors, the length of the micro-tip cantilever, the distance between the micro-tip and SMF, and the offset between the micro-tip central axis and SMF central axis. Hence, by changing any of these parameters, the performance of the sensor can be easily tuned. Experimental results show that for a cantilever length of 15 mm, the probe has a maximum acoustic sensitivity of 10.63 mV/Pa or -159.5 dB re 1 V/μPa, noise-limited minimum detectable pressure of 19.1 mPa/√Hz and the linear frequency range is 0-400 Hz. The SMF only structure along with photodetector-based interrogation makes this acoustic sensor economical.
