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

This paper introduces the electronic interface for a capacitive airborne particle matter detector. The proposed circuit relies on two matched ring oscillators and a mixer to detect the frequency difference induced by the deposition of a particle onto an interdigitated capacitor, which constitutes the load of one of the oscillators. The output of the mixer is digitized through a simple counter. In order to compensate the oscillation frequency offset of the two ring oscillators due to process and mismatch variations, a capacitive trimming circuit has been implemented. The sensor is connected to host through an I2C interface for communication and configuration. The sensor has been implemented using a standard 130-nm CMOS technology by STMicroelectronics and occupies 0.12-mm
