Gold-decorated vertically aligned carbon nanofibers for high-performance room-temperature ethanol sensing.
Article in Mikrochimica acta, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Room-temperature detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a persistent challenge for low-power sensing applications. This study presents a scalable method for fabricating gas sensors based on vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs) decorated with aerosol-printed gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The Au-functionalized CNFs show ~ 140% improvement in response at 10 ppm ethanol gas, reduced ~ 5-s response time, and enhanced stability with over 95% signal retention. These improvements are attributed to increased surface area, enhanced graphitic disorder, and the catalytic activity of Au NPs. Structural and morphological characterization using TEM, EDX, SEM, and Raman spectroscopy confirms the successful decoration of CNFs with Au. The effects of operating temperature and humidity on sensor performance are also evaluated.
