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 order to ensure the safety and preserve the value of historical buildings, inclination is an essential parameter during the continuous structural health monitoring process. However, the wire and price of a traditional sensor limit application. This paper proposes a low-cost inclination sensor based on a patch antenna with a reconfigurable water load. Only the water directly on the antenna is considered effective. The different volume of the effective water load, which is determined by the inclination of the attached surface, will affect the effective permittivity of the dielectric plate of the patch antenna, further causing a variation in the resonant frequency. Therefore, the proposed antenna sensor can monitor the inclination of the attached surface by interrogating the resonant frequency. The working mechanism is first clarified by theoretically investigating the relationship between the dielectric properties and the inclination of the covering medium. The antenna sensor is then simulated using High-Frequency Structure Simulator ver.15 (HFSS 15), which helps to determine geometric parameters and confirm accuracy and sensitivity. An experiment has been conducted based on the design verified in the simulation. The inclination detection shows a correlation coefficient of 0.9771 with a sensitivity of 7.92 MHz/°, indicating a potential for real application.
