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
THz waves have interesting applications in refractive index sensing. A THz gas sensor based on the guided Bloch surface wave resonance (GBSWR) in a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPhC), which consists of periodic polycarbonate (PC) layers and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) layers, has been proposed. Numerical results based on finite element method (FEM) show that the photonic band gap that confines Bloch surface waves (BSWs) lies in the regime of 11.54 to 21.43 THz, in which THz wave can transmit in both PC and PVDF with the ignored absorption. The calculated sensitivity of hazardous gas HCN in angle is found to be 118.6°/RIU (and the corresponding figure of merit (FOM) is 227) and the sensitivity in frequency is 4.7 THz/RIU (the corresponding FOM is 301.3). The proposed structure may also be used for monitoring hazardous gases which show absorption to the incident THz wave. Further results show that for N
