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

A sensitivity-enhanced temperature sensor based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) coated by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film is proposed and investigated. The MZI with a compact size of 2.28 mm is fabricated by embedding a tapered single-mode fiber (SMF) between two multimode fibers (MMFs). Since PDMS has a higher thermo-optical coefficient than silica, the proposed sensor has better temperature sensing performance than the case without PDMS coating, which is demonstrated by simulation and experiment. The experimental results show that the sensitivity of the proposed sensor is as high as -1.06 nm/°C in the range from -5 °C to 45 °C.
