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 small size, high sensitivity, and immunity to electromagnetic interference of fibre-optic ultrasound sensors make them highly attractive for applications in biomedical imaging and metrology. Typically, such sensors rely on optically resonant structures, such as Fabry-Perot cavities, that require elaborate fabrication techniques. Here, an alternative fibre-optic ultrasound sensor is presented that comprises a simple deformable and reflective structure that was deposited using simple dip-coating. Interrogation with a laser Doppler vibrometer demonstrated how this sensor achieved a sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, and noise-equivalent pressure that outperformed piezoelectric hydrophones, whilst offering a highly miniature form factor, turn-key operation, and simple fabrication.
