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
We report the design and multiphysics simulation of a monolithically integrated optoelectronic methane (CH[Formula: see text]) sensor that operates without external electrical bias or spectroscopic instrumentation. The device comprises a methane-selective cryptophane-A-infiltrated GaAs photonic crystal slab, engineered to support a sharp Fano resonance at [Formula: see text] nm, monolithically integrated with an InP/In[Formula: see text]Ga[Formula: see text]As/InP p-i-n photodiode. Methane adsorption reduces the refractive index of the cryptophane-A layer, inducing a blueshift of the Fano resonance that is directly transduced into a photocurrent change in the underlying detector. Simulations predict a sensitivity of [Formula: see text] (A/cm[Formula: see text])/%CH[Formula: see text] with excellent linearity ([Formula: see text]) in self-powered mode, and an ultrafast photoresponse with [Formula: see text] GHz bandwidth-orders of magnitude faster than the methane adsorption kinetics. The InP/InGaAs heterojunction design, employing a wide-bandgap p-InP anode rather than conventional p-InGaAs, suppresses dark current to [Formula: see text] A/cm[Formula: see text] at zero bias while maintaining [Formula: see text] absorption efficiency in the 3 μm intrinsic layer. Fabrication tolerance analysis demonstrates robust performance against [Formula: see text] nm variations in hole radius and [Formula: see text] nm variations in analyte thickness, with sensitivity degradation below [Formula: see text]. Unlike passive ultrahigh-Q resonators that require external spectroscopy, this fully integrated platform combines high optical sensitivity, efficient photocarrier generation, and zero static power consumption in a compact, scalable architecture suitable for distributed environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and IoT applications.
