A PDMS Coating-Based Balloon-Shaped Fiber Optic Respiratory Monitoring Sensor.

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
A respiratory monitoring sensor based on a balloon-shaped optical fiber is proposed. The sensor consists of a single-mode fiber (SMF) coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) bent into a balloon shape to form a fiber optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The sensor's sensitivity to temperature enables monitoring of breathing status by recognizing the temperature changes that occur during human respiration. By adjusting the bending radius of the balloon-shaped SMF, high-order modes can be effectively excited to interfere with the core mode. Due to the high thermo-optic coefficient and thermal expansion coefficient of PDMS itself, the balloon-shaped fiber optic sensor can achieve temperature sensitivity. The experimental results show that the temperature sensitivity is -166.29 pm/°C in a temperature range of 30 °C to 60 °C. Finally, the proposed sensor was mounted into a respiratory mask to monitor different breathing states (normal, fast, slow, and oral-nasal breathing transitions) and breathing frequencies.
