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 relative humidity sensor that is based on a linear piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducer (pMUT) array was proposed and microfabricated for high sensitivity, fast response, and good stability. The humidity-sensitive graphene oxide (GO) film was deposited on the pMUT array with a facile drop-casting method and characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR). With the humidity level ranging from 10% to 90% RH, the sensor exhibited a high sensitivity of 719 Hz/% RH and an extremely high relative sensitivity of 271.1 ppm/% RH. The humidity-sensing results also showed good short-term repeatability and long-term stability, fast response and recovery, and low hysteresis. Moreover, the temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) of the present humidity sensor was investigated and it could be easily compensated owing to the pMUT array structure design. This work confirmed that the GO functionalized pMUT is an excellent candidate in humidity detection and it may enable many potential applications, such as ultrasensitive mass detection and simultaneous detection of multiple parameters.
