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 quartz tuning fork (QTF) being the acoustic-electrical conversion element for quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) system directly affects the detection sensitivity. However, the low electromechanical conversion efficiency characteristic of standard QTF limits the further enhancement of the system. Therefore, the optimized design for QTF is becoming an important approach to improve the performance of QEPAS. In this work, 9 kHz T-shaped QTFs with isosceles-trapezoidal grooves are firstly applied to gas sensing experiments. Four types of 9 kHz QTFs are fabricated and applied to gas detection experiments. Simulation results reveal QTFs with isosceles-trapezoidal grooves are conducive to optimizing the stress distribution and enhancing electromechanical conversion efficiency. The results of the gas sensing experiment (acetylene C
