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

In this work a plasmonic sensor with a D-Shaped microstructured optical fiber (MOF) is proposed to detect a wide range of analyte refractive index (RI ;na) by doping the pure silica (SiO2) core with distinct concentrations of Germanium Dioxide (GeO2), causing the presentation of high spectral sensitivity. In this case, the fiber is shaped by polishing a coating of SiO2, on the region that will be doped with GeO2, in the polished area, a thin gold (Au) layer, which constitutes the plasmonic material, is introduced, followed by the analyte, in a way which the gold layer is deposited between the SiO2. and the analyte. The numerical results obtained in the study shows that the sensor can determine efficiently a range of 0.13 refractive index units (RIU), with a limit operation where na varies from 1.32 to 1.45. Within this application, the sensor has reached an average wavelength sensitivity (WS) of up to 11,650.63 nm/RIU. With this level of sensitivity, the D-Shaped format and wide range of na detection, the proposed fiber has great potential for sensing applications in several areas.
