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

Many applications require galvanic isolation between the circuit where the current is flowing and the measurement device. While for AC, the current transformer is the method of choice, in DC and, especially for low currents, other sensing methods must be used. This paper aims to provide a practical method of improving the sensitivity and linearity of a giant magnetoresistance (GMR)-based current sensor by adapting a set of design rules and methods easy to be implemented. Our approach utilizes a multi-trace current trace and a double differential GMR based detection system. This essentially constitutes a planar coil which would effectively increase the usable magnetic field detected by the GMR sensor. An analytical model is developed for calculating the magnetic field generated by the current in the GMR sensing area which showed a significant increase in sensitivity up to 13 times compared with a single biased sensor. The experimental setup can measure both DC and AC currents between 2-300 mA, with a sensitivity between 15.62 to 23.19 mV/mA, for biasing fields between 4 to 8 Oe with a detection limit of 100 μA in DC and 100 to 300 μA in AC from 10 Hz to 50 kHz. Because of the double differential setup, the detection system has a high immunity to external magnetic fields and a temperature drift of the offset of about -2.59 × 10
