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

In this study, a tunable terahertz (THz) metamaterial using the micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technique is proposed to demonstrate pressure sensing application. This MEMS-based tunable metamaterial (MTM) structure is composed of gold (Au) split-ring resonators (SRRs) on patterned silicon (Si) substrate with through Si via (TSV). SRR is designed as a cantilever on the TSV structure. When the airflow passes through the TSV from bottom to up and then bends the SRR cantilever, the SRR cantilever will bend upward. The electromagnetic responses of MTM show the tunability and polarization-dependent characteristics by bending the SRR cantilever. The resonances can both be blue-shifted from 0.721 THz to 0.796 THz with a tuning range of 0.075 THz in transverse magnetic (TM) mode and from 0.805 THz to 0.945 THz with a tuning range of 0.140 THz in transverse electric (TE) mode by changing the angle of SRR cantilever from 10° to 45°. These results provide the potential applications and possibilities of MTM design for use in pressure and flow rate sensors.
