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

objectiveTo investigate the sensing volume of open-ended coaxial probe technique for measurement of dielectric characteristics.

methodsA measurement model combining macro- measurement device with a layer model of dielectric properties parameters was established for evaluating the sensing volume of open-ended coaxial probe technique. We defined sensing depth and sensing diameter to describe the distance that could be detected in vertical and horizontal direction. Using a variety of materials with different dielectric properties (Teflon, deionized water, ethanol, and gradient concentration sodium chloride solution), a layered model of dielectric properties differentiation was established. The total combined uncertainties (TCU) were calculated for different output power, and the output power was controlled to increase from -50 dBm to 15 dBm to calibrate the error range of the dielectric properties measurement system. The optimal output power range was determined based on the results of TCU test. In sensing volume measurement experiment, we set the control groups based on measurement parameters that potentially affect the sensing volume including output power (-10, -5, 0, 3, 6, and 9 dBm), frequency (1-500 MHz), Teflon, deionized water, and ethanol to form a dielectric constant difference between high and low contrast groups. Different concentrations of sodium chloride solution and Teflon were used to generate a conductivity difference between high and low contrast groups. These groups were tested in the sensing depth and sensing diameter measurement experiments.

resultsThe result of TCU test indicated that accurate and stable measurement results could be obtained when the output power was greater or equal to-10 dBm (TCU < 2%). Sensing volume measurement experiment revealed a positive correlation between the sensing depth and output power (

conclusionsThe sensing volume of open-ended coaxial probe technique is affected by measurement parameters and dielectric properties of materials, which significantly affect the sensing depth.
