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.
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
This paper presents a high-sensitivity two-dimensional fiber-optic hydrophone designed for the detection and localization of underwater acoustic sources. The device comprises two sensing heads, each incorporating a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) embedded within a customized 3D-printed encapsulation. To enhance acoustic sensitivity, the design utilizes a silicone thin-film coupled with a pyramidal channel that spatially concentrates acoustic energy from the base to the apex, where the FBG is positioned. Incident acoustic pressure induces vibrations in the film, which are amplified by the channel structure, imparting strain on the FBG and resulting in a shift in the Bragg wavelength. The acoustic frequency response is demodulated by converting the overlapping optical power between the sensing and reference gratings into an electrical signal via a photodetector. By arranging the two sensing heads orthogonally, the system effectively determines the direction and angle of the acoustic source. Experimental results show a peak sensitivity of -210.59 dB re 1 V/μPa, with a FWHM of 57.92-66.27 Hz and a figure of merit (FOM) up to 3.64 dB/Hz. In addition, the acoustic-field SNR is approximately 26 dB in the dominant band, and the LOD is 64.19 dB re 1 μPa (10-400 Hz). Experimental validation confirms the hydrophone's high sensitivity and localization accuracy, demonstrating its significant potential for underwater acoustic sensing applications.
