Micromachined Thermal Time-of-Flight Flow Sensors and Their Applications.
Review in Micromachines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Micromachined thermal flow sensors on the market are primarily manufactured with the calorimetric sensing principle. The success has been in limited industries such as automotive, medical, and gas process control. Applications in some emerging and abrupt applications are hindered due to technical challenges. This paper reviews the current progress with micromachined devices based on the less popular thermal time-of-flight sensing technology: its theory, design of the micromachining process, control schemes, and applications. Thermal time-of-flight sensing could effectively solve some key technical hurdles that the calorimetric sensing approach has. It also offers fluidic property-independent data acquisition, multiparameter measurement, and the possibility for self-calibration. This technology may have a significant perspective on future development.
