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 ubiquity of vibration sensors and accelerometers, as well as advances in microfabrication technologies, have led to the development of implantable devices for biomedical applications. This work describes a piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems accelerometer designed for potential use in auditory prostheses. The design includes an aluminum nitride bimorph beam with a silicon proof mass. Analytic models of the device sensitivity and noise are presented. These lead to a minimum detectable acceleration cost function for the sensor that can be used to optimize sensor designs more effectively than typical sensitivity maximizing or electrical noise minimizing approaches. A fabricated device with a 1 μm thick, 100 μm long, and 700 μm wide beam and a 400 μm thick, 63 μm long, and 740 μm wide proof mass is tested experimentally. Results indicate accurate modeling of the system sensitivity up to the first resonant frequency (1420 Hz). The low-frequency sensitivity of the device is 1.3 mV/g, and the input referred noise is 36.3
