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 present the design, fabrication, and characterization of a multi-slot photonic crystal (PhC) cavity sensor on the silicon-on-insulator platform. By optimizing the structure of the PhC cavity, most of the light can be distributed in the lower index region; thus, the sensitivity can be dramatically improved. By exposing the cavities to different mass concentrations of NaCl solutions, we obtained that the wavelength shift per refractive index unit (RIU) for the sensor is 586 nm/RIU, which is one of the highest sensitivities achieved in a non-suspended cavity. Furthermore, the size of the sensing region of the reported sensor is only 22.8 μm × 1.5 μm, making the high-sensitivity PhC cavity sensor attractive for the realization of on-chip sensor arrays.
