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

Ring resonators are well-known optical biosensors thanks to their relatively high Q-factor and sensitivity, in addition to their potential to be fabricated in large arrays with a small footprint. Here, we investigated the characteristics of a polymer ring resonator with a partially tapered waveguide for Biomedical Sensing. The goal is to develop a more sensitive biosensor with an improved figure of merit. The concept is more significant field interaction with the sample under test in tapered segments. Waveguide width is hereby gradually reduced to half. Sensitivity improves from 84.6 to 101.74 [nm/RIU] in a relatively small Q-factor reduction from 4.60 × 10
