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

Vibration sensors are integral to a multitude of engineering applications, yet the development of low-cost, easily assembled devices remains a formidable challenge. This study presents a highly sensitive flexible vibration sensor, based on the piezoresistive effect, tailored for the detection of high-dynamic-range vibrations and accelerations. The sensor's design incorporates a polylactic acid (PLA) housing with cavities and spherical recesses, a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane, and electrodes that are positioned above. Employing femtosecond laser ablation and template transfer techniques, a parallel groove array is created within the flexible polymer sensing layer. This includes conductive pathways, and integrates stainless-steel balls as oscillators to further amplify the sensor's sensitivity. The sensor's performance is evaluated over a frequency range of 50 Hz to 400 Hz for vibrations and from 1 g to 5 g for accelerations, exhibiting a linear correlation coefficient of 0.92 between the sensor's voltage output and acceleration. It demonstrates stable and accurate responses to vibration signals from devices such as drills and mobile phone ringtones, as well as robust responsiveness to omnidirectional and long-distance vibrations. The sensor's simplicity in microstructure fabrication, ease of assembly, and low cost render it highly promising for applications in engineering machinery with rotating or vibrating components.
