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 paper, a novel optical measurement principle for deformation, especially torsion, is presented. A laser beam is guided via total internal reflection (TIR) in a prism rod. Every single reflection causes an increasing change in the beam path, which can be measured by its effect on the outcoupling position of the laser. With a diameter of the prism rod of 10 mm and a length of 120 mm, the system achieves torsion sensitivities between 350 µm/° and more than 7000 µm/°, depending on the actual torsion angle φ. A decency level of sensitivity is defined for comparison, which is exceeded by a factor of ~55 at φ=0. The presented principle of TIR prism rods can be adapted to measure different load cases. Using two laser beams, bending and torsion can be distinguished and combined load cases analyzed. The resulting system can be integrated into machine elements, such as screws, to perform condition monitoring on mechanically loaded components.
