High-Sensitivity, Large Dynamic Range Refractive Index Measurement Using an Optical Microfiber Coupler.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Wavelength tracking methods are widely employed in fiber-optic interferometers, but they suffer from the problem of fringe order ambiguity, which limits the dynamic range within half of the free spectral range. Here, we propose a new sensing strategy utilizing the unique property of the dispersion turning point in an optical microfiber coupler mode interferometer. Numerical calculations show that the position of the dispersion turning point is sensitive to the ambient refractive index, and its position can be approximated by the dual peaks/dips that lay symmetrically on both sides. In this study, we demonstrate the potential of this sensing strategy, achieving high sensitivities of larger than 5327.3 nm/RIU (refractive index unit) in the whole refractive index (RI) range of 1.333-1.4186. This sensor also shows good performance in narrow RI ranges with high resolution and high linearity. The resolution can be improved by increasing the length of the coupler.
