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

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold remarkable potential for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in applications ranging from indoor air quality monitoring to breath-based diagnostics. However, the integration of MOFs into optical sensors remains a significant challenge. In this study, we present an optimized soft lithographic approach for fabricating high-quality surface relief diffraction gratings composed entirely of MOF nanoparticles, as replicas of holographic structures. By increasing the height amplitude of the gratings, we significantly enhanced the sensitivity, as predicted by the Raman-Nath theory. For instance, a ZIF-71 grating with a depth of 530 nm demonstrated exceptional sensitivity to six VOCs, achieving a detection limit of 60 ppb for toluene. The general applicability of the approach was demonstrated by integrating other porous materials, resulting in an improved sensitivity to acetone. This work represents a step toward developing an optical VOC sensor array.
