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

Hydrogen is widely considered a clean and sustainable energy carrier due to its high energy density, abundant reserves, and zero carbon emissions during use. To ensure safety in hydrogen production, transportation, and utilization, the development of high-performance hydrogen sensors is of great importance. Among various sensing technologies, surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors have attracted considerable attention due to their unique advantages, including rapid response and high sensitivity, which originate from the excitation and reception of acoustic waves by interdigital transducers and the strong surface disturbance sensitivity of piezoelectric substrates. This paper systematically discusses the sensing mechanisms of SAW hydrogen sensors, analyzes the effects of piezoelectric substrates and hydrogen-sensitive materials on sensing performance, reviews recent progress in hydrogen-sensitive films, and explores optimization strategies in electrode structure design and signal processing. Finally, the main challenges are summarized, and future development directions are outlined, aiming to provide theoretical support for the design and application of high-performance SAW hydrogen sensors.
