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

Fluorescence-based thermometry offers non-contact, high-resolution temperature sensing, yet current methods face challenges in simultaneously achieving high sensitivity, stability and insensitivity to non-thermal perturbations. Here, a sensing paradigm is introduced that translates temperature variations into detectable shifts in the fluorescence emission angle via grating-modulated fluorescence emission. In a prototype device featuring a gold grating coupled with [Ru(phen)₃]Cl₂ fluorophores, an absolute sensitivity of 0.58 °/°C and a relative sensitivity of 81.34 %/°C at 79.36 °C are achieved, with a temperature resolution down to 0.01 °C. Unlike intensity-based methods, this angle-resolved strategy effectively isolates the thermal signal from excitation power fluctuations and environmental interferences and demonstrates robustness across broad humidity ranges (10-89% RH). Sustained operational stability is validated over 12-hour battery cycling, while real-time monitoring of a smartphone CPU enables early-warning capabilities against overheating. This promising and customizable approach establishes a pathway for thermal management in advanced engineering systems.
