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

Aerospace engines and hypersonic vehicles, among other high-temperature components, often operate in environments characterized by temperatures exceeding 1000 °C and high-speed airflow impacts, resulting in severe thermal erosion conditions. Coaxial thermocouples (CTs), with their unique self-eroding characteristic, are particularly well suited for use in such extreme environments. However, fabricating high-temperature electrical insulation layers for coaxial thermocouples remains challenging. Inspired by the self-healing mechanism of pine trees, we designed a composite electrical insulation layer with a similar self-healing function. This composite layer exhibits excellent high-temperature insulation properties (insulation resistance of 14.5 kΩ at 1200 °C). Applied as the insulation layer in K-type coaxial thermocouples via dip-coating, the thermocouples were tested for temperature and heat flux. Temperature tests showed an accuracy of 1.72% in the range of 200-1200 °C, a drift rate better than 0.474%/h at 1200 °C, and hysteresis better than 0.246%. The temperature response time was 1.08 ms. Heat flux tests demonstrated a measurable range of 0-41.32 MW/m
