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 the field of wireless strain monitoring, it is difficult for the traditional metal-made antenna sensor to conform well with steel structures and monitor large strain deformation. To solve this problem, this study proposes a flexible antenna strain sensor based on a ductile graphene film, which features a 6.7% elongation at break and flexibility due to the microscopic wrinkle structure and layered stacking structure of the graphene film. Because of the use of eccentric embedding in the feeding form, the sensor can be miniaturized and can simultaneously monitor strain in two directions. The sensing mechanism of the antenna is analyzed using a void model, and an antenna is designed based on operating frequencies of 3 GHz and 3.5 GHz. The embedding size is optimized using a Smith chart and impedance matching principle. Both the simulation and experimental results verify that the resonant frequency and strain magnitude are linearly inversely proportional. The experimental results show that the strain sensitivity is 1.752 kHz/με along the geometric length and 1.780 kHz/με along the width, with correlation coefficients of 0.99173 and 0.99295, respectively.
