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

Silicon carbide (SiC) is an interesting semiconductor for MEMS devices. The high-value Young's modulus of silicon carbide facilitates high frequencies and quality (Q) factors in resonant devices built with double-clamped beams. The aim of this work is to achieve the determination and modeling of the Q-Factor for samples of micromachined 3C-SiC film on <111> silicon substrates. This study demonstrates that the experimental datasets created by Romero, integrated with the thicker samples reported in this work, fit the theoretical model presented in the paper. Furthermore, the influence of the crystallographic defects present at the 3C-SiC/Si interface on the Q-factor can be observed both in the analytical model of Romero and in the numerical model present in COMSOL. 3C-SiC layers with thickness greater than 600 nm are needed to achieve an ideal performance from double-clamped beams.
