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

This paper outlines the design of a novel mode-localized electric current sensor based on a mechanically sensitive element of weakly coupled resonator systems. With the advantage of a high voltage sensitivity of weakly coupled resonator systems, the current under test is converted to voltage via a silicon shunt resistor, which causes stiffness perturbation to one resonator. The mode-localization phenomenon alters the energy distribution in the weakly coupled resonator system. A theoretical model of current sensing is established, and the performance of the current sensor is determined: the sensitivity of the electric current sensor is 567/A, the noise floor is 69.3 nA/√Hz, the resolution is 183.6 nA, and the bias instability is 81.6 nA. The mode-localized electric current sensor provides a new approach for measuring sub-microampere currents for applications in nuclear physics, including for photocurrent signals and transistor leakage currents. It could also become a key component of a portable mode-localized multimeter when combined with a mode-localized voltmeter. In addition, it has the potential for use in studying sensor arrays to achieve higher resolution.
