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

Accurate monitoring of isopropanol (IPA) levels is crucial for safety in industrial and laboratory settings, as high concentrations can lead to serious health issues. In this study, we present, for the first time, a dual-functional antenna sensor capable of high-performance IPA gas detection with concentration estimation and uninterrupted wireless communication, using optimized molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-based sensing materials. Comprehensive characterization of these materials confirms the successful formation and homogeneity of the composites. Furthermore, the electrical and gas-sensing properties of the sensing materials were evaluated using functionalized interdigitated electrode (IDE)-based sensing structures, optimized for high sensitivity, were functionalized to evaluate the electrical and gas-sensing properties of the materials. These IDE structures, which acted as impedance-varying components during operation, were coupled with a single-port monopole antenna to develop a highly sensitive and selective gas sensor while maintaining uninterrupted communication services. The results showed that the fabricated sensor platform exhibits strong selectivity, sensitivity, and stability for IPA detection at room temperature, effectively distinguishing it from other interference gases. In addition, using the same sensing material, we demonstrated that the antenna-based gas sensor exhibited higher sensitivity than the chemiresistive sensor, achieving a detection limit (18.8 ppm) below the safety thresholds for IPA. Moreover, the antenna's radiation pattern and communication capabilities remained unaffected, ensuring uninterrupted functionality. Detailed optimization process and the sensing mechanism for a novel MIP-based selective antenna gas sensor, supported by both structural and electrical characterizations could serve as a milestone for future studies and the advancement of next-generation sensors.
