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 propose a novel langasite crystal microbalance (LCM) sensor with a graphene-based sensing medium to detect and discriminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at room temperature. A thin film of graphene oxide embedded with Pt nanostructures (GO-Pt nanocomposite) was deposited on the electrode surface of the LCM, a thickness-shear acoustic wave resonator. Ethyl acetate, acetic acid, and ethanol were chosen as typical VOCs for this study. Sensitivity and selectivity of coated LCM were investigated for different concentrations of the VOCs by analysing the resonant properties of the sensor. When exposed to VOCs, a negative shift in series resonance frequency was observed due to the mass loading of VOC molecules. Simultaneously, changes in equivalent resistance and parallel resonance frequency of the sensor were also observed due to the interaction of VOCs with charge carriers on the GO-Pt nanocomposite film surface. This dual measurement of both series and parallel resonance frequencies allowed for detection and discrimination of VOCs. Moreover, the high thermal stability of langasite makes the proposed sensor suitable even for harsh environmental conditions.
