Design of a Novel Medical Acoustic Sensor Based on MEMS Bionic Fish Ear Structure.
Article in Micromachines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
High-performance medical acoustic sensors are essential in medical equipment and diagnosis. Commercially available medical acoustic sensors are capacitive and piezoelectric types. When they are used to detect heart sound signals, there is attenuation and distortion due to the sound transmission between different media. This paper proposes a new bionic acoustic sensor based on the fish ear structure. Through theoretical analysis and finite element simulation, the optimal parameters of the sensitive structure are determined. The sensor is fabricated using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, and is encapsulated in castor oil, which has an acoustic impedance close to the human body. An electroacoustic test platform is built to test the performance of the sensor. The results showed that the MEMS bionic sensor operated with a bandwidth of 20-2k Hz. Its linearity and frequency responses were better than the electret microphone. In addition, the sensor was tested for heart sound collection application to verify its effectiveness. The proposed sensor can be effectively used in clinical auscultation and has a high SNR.
