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
Phononic crystal-based sensors have emerged as highly promising platforms for precise temperature monitoring due to their ability to manipulate acoustic wave propagation through engineered bandgaps. In this work, a 1D phononic crystal composed of alternating layers of tungsten and polycrystalline silicon is systematically investigated in both periodic and quasiperiodic configurations. The study aims to comparatively evaluate periodic and quasiperiodic architectures- including Fibonacci, Thue-Morse, double-periodic, and Cantor sequences, to identify an optimal structural arrangement that maximizes bandgap width and enhances sensing performance. The simulation upshots revealed that the Fibonacci quasiperiodic configuration exhibits the widest Phononic band gap, reaching 18 × 106 Hz at an operating temperature of 373 K. Meanwhile, the sensor performance is assessed in terms of temperature sensitivity, where the periodic structure demonstrates a stable and linear response over the investigated temperature range, with a maximum sensitivity of 62.5 Hz/K at 373 K. To evaluate practical feasibility, fabrication tolerances are incorporated by considering up to 5% deviations and material property disorders. Additionally, Monte Carlo simulations are employed to analyze the robustness of the transmission spectrum under such uncertainties. In this regard, the investigated results highlight the trade-off between enhanced bandgap characteristics in quasiperiodic structures and the superior stability of periodic configurations, providing valuable insights for the design of high-performance phononic crystal sensors.
