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 study describes the fabrication of an electrospun, U-shaped optical fiber sensor for temperature measurements. The sensor is based on single mode fibers and was fabricated into a U-shaped optical fiber sensor through flame heating. This study applied electrospinning to coat PVA, a polymer, onto the sensor layer to reduce its sensitivity to humidity. The sensor is used to measure temperature variations ranging from 30 °C to 100 °C. The objectives of this study were to analyze the sensitivity variation of the sensor with different sensor layer thicknesses resulting from different electrospinning durations, as well as to simulate the wavelength signals generated at different electrospinning durations using COMSOL. The results revealed that the maximum wavelength sensitivity, transmission loss sensitivity, and linearity of the sensor were 25 dBm/°C, 70 pm/°C, and 0.956, respectively. Longer electrospinning durations resulted in thicker sensor layers and higher sensor sensitivity, that wavelength sensitivity of the sensor increased by 42%.
