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 presents ways of inductance sensitivity improvement in a quartz crystal converter for low inductance measurement. To improve the converter's sensitivity, two quartz crystals that were connected in parallel and additional capacitance connected to the two quartz crystals in the oscillator's circuit are used. The new approach uses a converter with special switchable oscillator and multiplexer switches to compensate for the crystal's natural temperature-frequency characteristics and any other influences, such as parasitic capacitances and parasitic inductances, which reduce them to a minimum. The experimental results demonstrate improved sensitivity and well-compensated dynamic temperature influence on the converter's output frequency. The fundamental quartz crystal frequency-temperature characteristics in the temperature range between 0-40 °C are simultaneously compensated. Furthermore, the converter enables the measurement of the influence of its own hysteresis at different values of inductances at the selected sensitivity by parallel capacitances connected either to the single- or dual-quartz crystal unit. The results show that the converter converting inductances in the range between 85-100 μH to a frequency range between 1-150 kHz only has ±0.05 ppm frequency instability (during the temperature change between 0-40 °C), which gives the converter a resolution of 1 pH. As a result, the converter can be applied where low inductance measurement, nondestructive testing, impedance change measurement, and magnetic material properties measurement are important.
