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 this paper, a new measurement principle for decoupling mechanical and thermal signals in an OFDR measurement with integrated optical fibres is investigated. Previous methods for decoupling require additional measuring equipment or knowledge about the substrate properties. This new method is based solely on simultaneous measurements of two fibres with different temperature sensitivities resulting from different core doping processes. By exposing both fibres to the same thermal and mechanical load, the signal could be differentiated through the signal variations caused by the thermo-optical effect. The two fibres used in the tests have a sufficient response difference in the cryogenic temperature range. Therefore, the method is suitable for various applications, such as high-temperature superconductors as well as cryogenic and space applications.
