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

A new kind of temperature sensor based on a vacuum diode was proposed and numerically studied in this paper. This device operated under different electron emission mechanisms according to the electron density in the vacuum channel. The temperature determination ability of this device was only empowered when working in the electric-field-assisted thermionic emission regime (barrier-lowering effect). The simulated results indicated that the temperature-sensing range of this device was around 273 K-325 K with a supply current of 1 μA. To obtain a linear dependency of voltage on temperature, we designed a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) circuit. The mathematic derivation of the PTAT voltage is presented in this study. The temperature-sensing sensitivity was calculated as 7.6 mV/K according to the measured I-U (current versus voltage) characteristic. The structure and principle of the device presented in this paper might provide an alternative method for the study of temperature sensors.
