Linearity Improvement of MEMS Electrochemical Vibration Sensors Based on Tapered-Hole Technology.
Article in Micromachines, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Electrochemical vibration sensors offer high sensitivity, low mechanical noise, and superior low-frequency performance, making them attractive for applications such as seismic detection and underwater acoustic sensing. However, existing electrochemical seismometers, angular accelerometers, and vector hydrophones primarily focus on sensitivity and noise, while sensor linearity-especially across wide frequency ranges-remains insufficiently investigated. In practice, linearity degradation frequently occurs at low and high frequencies due to diffusion limitations of electroactive species in the electrolyte. In this study, the linearity mechanism of electrochemical vibration sensors is analyzed, and two key structural parameters affecting linearity are identified: one is the anode-cathode spacing and the other is the effective cathode length. To improve linearity, an electrochemical sensing electrode incorporating an ultra-narrow insulating ring and a tapered micro-orifice is proposed. Finite element simulations are performed to evaluate the effects of electrode spacing, orifice geometry and excitation frequency. The sensor is fabricated using MEMS fabrication technology and experimentally characterized. Results show a peak sensitivity of 1242 V/(m/s) and excellent linearity within an input velocity range of 0.0002-0.012 m/s at 5 Hz, 10 Hz, 40 Hz and 100 Hz, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.998. The proposed design provides an effective approach for linearity enhancement in electrochemical vibration sensors.
