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

Biorecognition element (BRE)-based carbon nanotube (CNT) chemiresistors have tremendous potential to serve as highly sensitive, selective, and power-efficient volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors. While many research groups have studied BRE-functionalized CNTs in material science and device development, little attention has been paid to optimizing CNT density to improve chemiresistor performance. To probe the effect of CNT density on VOC detection, we present the chemiresistor-based sensing results from two peptide-based CNT devices counting more than 60 different individual measurements. We find that a lower CNT density shows a significantly higher noise level and device-to-device variation while exhibiting mildly better sensitivity. Further investigation with SEM images suggests that moderately high CNT density with a stable connection of the nanotube network is desirable to achieve the best signal-to-noise ratio. Our results show an essential design guideline for tuning the nanotube density to provide sensitive and stable chemiresistors.
