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 humidity sensor is a crucial device in daily life; therefore, in the present study, a novel humidity sensor was designed to increase its specific surface area to improve its humid sensing capacity and conductivity. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiNP) consisting of zero-dimensional nanospheres and one-dimensional nanotubes were prepared by anodic oxidation. Rod-shaped cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with average length and diameter of 60 nm and 800 nm, respectively, were obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis and high pressure homogenization. TiNP/CNC composite films exhibited superior hydrophilicity and large specific surface areas based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption results. The humidity sensing characteristics of sensors based on TiNP/CNC flexible composite films with varying contents of TiNP were investigated under a relative humidity range of 11-97%. The 6% TiNP/CNC-based humidity sensor exhibited high humidity response, rapid response/recovery speed, and high stability. Furthermore, the humidity sensing mechanism of TiNP/CNC composite films was analyzed based on the density functional theory. TiNP/CNC-based humidity sensors could be applied in flexible and wearable electronics.
