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

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors based on photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) hold significant promise for high-precision detection in biochemical and chemical sensing. However, achieving high sensitivity in low-refractive-index (RI) aqueous environments remains a formidable challenge due to weak light-matter interactions. To address this limitation, this paper designs and proposes a novel dual-channel D-shaped PCF-SPR sensor tailored for the refractive index range of 1.34-1.40. The sensor incorporates a dual-layer gold/titanium dioxide film, with gold nanoparticles deposited on the surface to synergistically enhance both propagating and localized surface plasmon resonance effects. Furthermore, a D-shaped polished structure integrated with double-sided microfluidic channels is employed to significantly strengthen the interaction between the guided-mode electric field and the analyte. Finite element method simulations demonstrate that the proposed sensor achieves an average wavelength sensitivity of 5733 nm/RIU and a peak sensitivity of 15,500 nm/RIU at a refractive index of 1.40. Notably, the introduction of gold nanoparticles contributes to an approximately 1.47-fold sensitivity enhancement over conventional structures. This work validates the efficacy of hybrid plasmonic nanostructures and optimized waveguide design in advancing RI sensing performance.
