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

Ethanol (EtOH) is a ubiquitous compound with critical applications across various industries, necessitating accurate and reliable sensing for sanitation, quality control, and environmental monitoring. Chromism-based sensors, known for their simplicity, portability, and real-time detection capabilities, have faced limitations in EtOH sensing due to insufficient sensitivity, low selectivity, irreversibility, and low color perception. Herein, a groundbreaking solvato/vapochromism-based EtOH sensor utilizing a Cu-based metal-organic framework (MOF) thin film, Cu-MOF-74, is reported. The conversion of Cu-based ceramics to Cu-MOF-74 facilitates the fabrication of solvato/vapochromic MOF thin films with low light scattering, enabling effective colorimetric analysis. The Cu-MOF-74 thin films demonstrate rapid and reversible solvato/vapochromism upon the adsorption of guest molecules, including water and EtOH. This unique behavior allows for the precise and reliable detection of EtOH across the entire concentration range. Furthermore, a smartphone application is developed to detect EtOH concentrations, enabling rapid and convenient evaluation of EtOH levels. The findings represent a significant advancement in EtOH sensing technology, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods. The Cu-MOF-74-based sensor offers a versatile and reliable solution for various applications, including environmental monitoring, process control, and healthcare.
