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

A simple and compact intensity-interrogated terahertz (THz) relative humidity (RH) sensing platform is successfully demonstrated in experiments on the basis of combining a porous polymer sensing membrane and a continuous THz electronic system. The RH-sensing membrane is fabricated by surface modification of a porous polymer substrate with hydrophilic and photosensitive copolymer brushes via a UV-induced graft-polymerization process. The intensity interrogation sensing scheme indicated that the power reduction of the 0.4 THz wave is dependent on the grafting density of the copolymer brushes and proportional to the RH percent levels in the humidity-controlled air-sealed chamber. This finding was verified by the water contact angle measurement. Based on the slope of the proportional relation, the best sensitivity of the hydrophilic surface-modified sensing membrane was demonstrated at 0.0423 mV/% RH at the copolymer brush density of 1.57 mg/mm
