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

The structure of a microresonator will affect the vibration characteristics and the performance of the system. Inspired by the structural characteristics of the human tympanic membrane, this paper proposed a microresonator with the bionic structure of a tympanic membrane. The structure of a tympanic membrane was simplified to a regular shape with three structural parameters: diameter, height, and thickness. To imitate the tympanic membrane, the contour surface of the bionic structure was modeled based on the formula of transverse vibration mode of a circular thin plate. The geometric model of the bionic structure was established by using the three structural parameters and the contour surface equation. The dynamic properties of the bionic model were studied by the finite element method (FEM). We discuss the modal characteristics of the bionic structure and study the effect of structural parameters and scale on the dynamic properties. The advantages of the bionic structure were investigated by a comparison with circular plate microresonators. The results illustrate that the bionic structure can significantly improve the resonant frequency and have a much larger effective area of vibration displacement.
