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

Fluxgate-based current sensors are usually implemented for DC current detection, but their complex structure and circuits with large volume and high cost have been limiting their applications. This paper presents a low-cost sensor with a one-core-three-winding structure that can be suitable for integrated measurement in distribution system applications. Based on a self-oscillating scheme, the new sensor introduces an induction winding to suppress the noise caused by the transformer effect instead of adding more magnetic cores. The transmission and transfer functions of the sensor, based on nonlinear magnetization, are conducted for the qualitative and quantitative analysis. A prototype is fabricated and several specifications including linearity, small-signal bandwidth, output noise, and power-on repeatability are characterized. Experimental results show that the proposed sensor realizes an accuracy better than 0.15% with a range of 0-600 A. By implementing the proposed noise suppression method, the signal-to-ratio is improved from 19.55 dB to 48.88 dB. Compared with a traditional fluxgate sensor with a three-core-four-winding structure, the proposed sensor reduces the volume by 44.4% and the cost by 23.6%, indicating a good prospect for practical applications.
