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

In Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) the coaxial cables used to connect the electrodes to the electronics have long been a concern due to their impact on system performance. Driving the shield of the cable is useful, since it mitigates the shunt capacitance. However, this approach introduces complexity and, sometimes, stability issues. Using "active electrodes", i.e. placing the front end of the electronics at the electrode end of the cables, is also helpful but can introduce packaging and hygiene problems. In this paper, a new type of high-precision current source is described and its performance is studied when driving loads through a coaxial cable. This new current source adjusts its current output to compensate for current lost in any shunt impedance to ground, including the shunt losses in the cable. Experimental results for frequencies up to 1 MHz are provided, comparing performance with resistive and complex loads connected without a cable, with 1 m of RG-174 coaxial cable with a driven shield, and 1 m of RG-174 coaxial cable with a grounded shield. The results for all 3 cases are similar, demonstrating that the source can provide satisfactory performance with a grounded-shield cable.
