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

Remarkable advances in Quartz-Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (QEPAS) made it one of the most effective gas-sensing techniques in terms of sensitivity and selectivity. Consequently, its range of possible applications is continuously expanding, but in some cases is still limited by the cost and/or size of the equipment needed to im-plement a complete QEPAS sensor. In particular, bulky and expensive lab instruments are often used to realize the electronic building blocks required by this technique, which prevents, for instance, integration of the system on board a drone. This work addresses this issue by presenting the development of compact electronic modules for a QEPAS sensor. A very low-noise, fully differential preamplifier for the quartz tuning fork, with digital output and programmable gain, has been designed and realized. A compact FPGA board hosts both an accurate function generation module, which synthesizes the signals needed to modulate the laser source, and an innovative lock-in amplifier based on the CORDIC algorithm. QEPAS sensors based on the designed electronics have been used for the detection of H
