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 paper presents a piezoresistive differential pressure sensor based on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure for low pressure detection from 0 to 30 kPa. In the design phase, the stress distribution on the sensing membrane surface is simulated, and the doping concentration and geometry of the piezoresistor are evaluated. By optimizing the process, the realization of the pressure sensing diaphragm with a controllable thickness is achieved, and good ohmic contact is ensured. To obtain higher sensitivity and high temperature stability, an SOI structure with a 1.5 µm ultra-thin monocrystalline silicon layer is used in device manufacturing. The device diaphragm size is 700 µm × 700 µm × 2.1 µm. The experimental results show that the fabricated piezoresistive pressure sensor has a high sensitivity of 2.255 mV/V/kPa and a sensing resolution of less than 100 Pa at room temperature. The sensor has a temperature coefficient of sensitivity (TCS) of -0.221 %FS/°C and a temperature coefficient of offset (TCO) of -0.209 %FS/°C at operating temperatures ranging from 20 °C to 160 °C. The reported piezoresistive microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) pressure sensors are fabricated on 8-inch wafers using standard CMOS-compatible processes, which provides a volume solution for embedded integrated precision detection applications of air pressure, offering better insights for high-temperature and miniaturized low-pressure sensor research.
