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 study investigated the reflected spectral deformation mechanism of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors with crack propagation. This analysis was performed based on the simulated FBG response by applying modified-transfer matrix modeling (TMM) with the strain states, which were extracted by the finite element method (FEM) analysis. Experimental data were obtained from FBG sensors bonded in an aluminum alloy structure and subjected to multiple crack lengths, and the strain values were obtained by digital image correlation (DIC) technology. Based on the simulations and the experimental full spectral response, we compared the performance of two damage features: The full width at half maximum (FWHM) and the spectral difference. In addition, results showed that the two features were insensitive to experimental noise and were highly sensitive to the complex strain field caused by crack propagation. Moreover, the damage features changes in the crack propagation process also provided a way for crack position measurement. Ultimately, the 10 mm grating lengths sensors showed better performance to the crack detection with longer sensitivity distance. According to the research in this paper, the crack position was quantitatively determined by evaluating different damage features of the reflected spectrum.
