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

Pressure sensors provide intuitive and easy-to-use information, making them essential for Human-Machine Interface (HMI) applications. However, capacitive pressure sensors, although prevalent in industrial applications, suffer from critical vulnerabilities to external interferences like water droplets and proximity. Without addressing these issues, pressure sensors can never be effectively utilized in various real-world applications. This paper addresses this critical issue by identifying fringe fields as the primary cause of interference and proposing a nanogap structured capacitive pressure sensor. By reducing the electrode gaps to hundreds of nanometers, our sensor effectively mitigates fringe field effects, ensuring reliable pressure detection and high spatial resolution. We demonstrate the sensor's capabilities through wireless applications such as an artificial pressure sensing system and a force touch pad system, both showcasing exceptional resilience and accuracy. This innovation paves the way for robust, interference-free pressure sensors, significantly advancing HMI technology.
