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 the concept of Gastric Seed, which is an ultrasonically interrogated millimeter-sized implant for gastric electrical-wave (also known as slow waves, SWs) recording. A network of Gastric Seeds can be endoscopically implanted within the stomach submucosal space for large-scale SW recording. This paper also summarizes our recent effort towards Gastric Seed development including ultrasonic self-regulated power management and addressable ultrasonic pulse-based data transfer. The proposed power management in the form of a voltage doubler only requires a single off-chip capacitor for simultaneous rectification, regulation and over-voltage protection (OVP) by utilizing ultrasonic transducer's internal capacitance and reverse current. For data transfer, sharp ultrasonic pulses are transmitted to reduce the implant's power consumption. A proof-of-concept addressable chip was fabricated in a 0.35-μm standard CMOS process. Utilizing two pairs of millimeter-sized stacked power/data ultrasonic transducers spaced by 3.75 cm in a water tank, the chip achieved measured regulated voltage of 3 V and data rate of 75 kbps with the data transmitter energy consumption of 440 pJ/bit.
