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

A new device architecture using giant magnetoresistive sensors demonstrates the capability to detect very low magnetic fields on the pT range. A combination of vertically packed spin-valve sensors with two-dimensional in-plane arrays, connected in series and in parallel, delivers a final detection level of 360 pT/[Formula: see text] at 10 Hz at room temperature. The device design is supported by an analytical model developed for a vertically packed spin-valve system, which takes into account all magnetic couplings present. Optimization concerning the spacer thickness and sensor physical dimensions depending on the number of pilled up spin-valves is necessary. To push the limits of detection, arrays of a large number of sensing elements (up to 440,000) are patterned with a geometry that improves sensitivity and in a configuration that reduces the resistance, leading to a lower noise level. The final device performance with pT detectivity is demonstrated in an un-shielded environment suitable for detection of bio-signals.
