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

The seismic beacon is a new instrument that allows for the measurement of changes in a rock massif with high sensitivity. It is based on effects, which affect the propagation of harmonic seismic waves generated continuously with stable and precise frequency and amplitude. These seismic waves are registered by a system of seismic stations. The amplitude of the seismic signal is very small, and it is normally hidden in a seismic noise. Special techniques are applied to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. In 2020, the first prototype of the seismic beacon was constructed in a laboratory, and field tests were performed in 2022 and 2023. During the tests, the changes in spectral amplitude and phase of seismic waves were detected, which is interpreted as the changes in material properties. These measurements testified the basic functionality of the device. The seismic beacon has been developed primarily for the detection of critical stress before an earthquake, which is manifested by non-linear effects such as higher harmonics generation. In addition, it could be used, for example, in the detection of magma movements, groundwater level changes, changes in hydrocarbon saturation in rocks during the extraction of oil and natural gas, or the penetration of gases and liquids into the earth's crust.
