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

High-precision detection of hazardous gases with low refractive indices ranging from 1.000 to 1.100, specifically including methane, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide, is critical for industrial safety, yet conventional sensors often suffer from limited sensitivity and severe thermal cross-sensitivity. This work presents a Magneto-Optical Differential Photonic Crystals Sensor (MO-DPCS) utilizing indium antimonide (InSb) to address these constraints. Employing the Multi-Objective Dragonfly Algorithm (MODA), the system was inversely optimized to maximize magneto-optical polarization splitting while rigorously maintaining an ultra-high transmission efficiency. Crucially, an angular interrogation architecture operating under oblique incidence was established to maximize the magneto-optical non-reciprocity, where the detection was realized by fixing the terahertz source frequency and monitoring the precise angular displacements of the steep spectral edges. A differential detection technique was employed to utilize the non-reciprocal phase changes wherein Transverse Electric (TE) and Transverse Magnetic (TM) modes display contrasting kinematic characteristics in the presence of an external magnetic field. The findings indicate that with an adjusted magnetic field of 0.033 T, the MO-DPCS attains an exceptional differential sensitivity of 30.8°/RIU, much above the 0.8°/RIU seen in the unmagnetized condition. The differential approach efficiently eliminates common-mode thermal noise, minimizing temperature-induced drift to below 0.35° across a 1 K range. The suggested MO-DPCS offers a robust, self-referencing solution for stable and high-sensitivity gas sensing applications with a detection limit of 4.18 × 10
