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

This paper proposes a temperature measurement and system identification method for confined cavity explosions based on an improved type C thermocouple sensor. On the one hand, to address the extreme conditions caused by high-speed fragments and intense shock waves in an enclosed explosive environment, a thermocouple probe structure employing alloy strips of different widths with an alumina insulating layer in between is designed. By optimizing the strip width, the contact issues arising from edge-cutting burrs are effectively suppressed, thereby significantly enhancing the electrical insulation performance and overall reliability of the sensor. Additionally, a wedge-shaped alumina ceramic piece is designed to secure the thermocouple probe, further improving its structural stability under impact conditions. On the other hand, to tackle the highly nonlinear and multi-field coupled characteristics of the post-explosion temperature field, a system identification method based on the least square method is proposed. This method constructs a polynomial function in terms of radial distance and time variables, enabling effective reconstruction of the temperature field from limited measurement points. It provides a useful reference for understanding of the temperature distribution in confined cavity explosions and supports improved estimation of the temperature field. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that the improved sensor exhibits good survivability and measurement reliability under extreme explosive conditions. Meanwhile, the reconstructed temperature field model shows high fitting accuracy and good capability for describing the temperature distribution, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed identification method.
