Advanced Love wave sensor based on algal polymers for the detection of mercury in French Guiana waters.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The findings presented in this paper demonstrate the effectiveness of a new method for analyzing the electroacoustic response of Love wave acoustic sensors to assess the mechanical and dielectric properties of liquid samples. The Love wave sensor was modified by applying a solution of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) using a self-assembled monolayer technique. The mechanical parameters of the EPS-modified sensors, such as insertion losses and phase, were found to be slightly affected by turbidity, even at high levels, while allowing a chemical detection by mass loading effect. On the other hand, the sensor electrical parameters such as capacitance and resistance showed a positive correlation with increasing turbidity. The experimental chemical detection also showed changes in the mechanical parameters (wave amplitude and phase) of the EPS-modified sensor in response to different concentrations of mercury (Hg
