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 compliant amplifier powered by a piezoelectric stack is designed to meet high-performance dispensing operation requirements. By studying the issue of low frequency bandwidth on the traditional bridge-type amplifier mechanism, we propose a displacement amplifier mechanism, hybrid bridge-lever-bridge (HBLB), that enhances its dynamic performance by combining the traditional bridge-type and lever mechanism. A guiding beam is added to further improve its output stiffness with a guaranteed large amplification ratio. An analytical model has been developed to describe the full elastic deformation behavior of the HBLB mechanism that considers the lateral displacement loss of the input end, followed by a verification through a finite element analysis (FEA). Results revealed that the working principle of the HBLB optimizes the structural parameters using the finite element method. Finally, a prototype of the displacement amplifier was fabricated for performance tests. Static and dynamic test results revealed that the proposed mechanism can reach a travel range of 223.2 μm, and the frequency bandwidth is 1.184 kHz, which meets the requirements of a high-performance piezo jet dispenser.
