A Flexible Thermocouple Film Sensor for Respiratory Monitoring.
Article in Micromachines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A novel flexible thermocouple film sensor on a polyimide substrate is proposed that is simple and flexible for monitoring the respiratory signal. Several thermocouples were connected in series and patterned on the polyimide substrate, and each one is formed by copper and a constant line connected to each other at two nodes. The respiratory signal was measured by the output voltage, which resulted from the temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions. The sensors were fabricated with surface-microfabrication technology with three sputtering steps. The measurement results showed that the peak voltage decreased by 90% in the case of apnea compared with normal breathing. The sensor has potential application for wearable detection of sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
