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

Thin-film thermocouples (TFTCs) are known for their thinness, low thermal mass, fast response time, and low interference with component structure and flow field. High-temperature sensors have become an essential technological area for high-temperature tests of advanced equipment such as aeroengines and hypersonic vehicles. This paper presents a systematic review of research advancements in high-temperature thin-film thermocouples (HT-TFTCs) across five core dimensions: material systems, structural design, fabrication processes, failure mechanisms and protection, and self-healing technologies. In addition, this paper outlines future development trends. In order to enhance the development of HT-TFTCs with long service life and high reliability, as well as intelligent applications, it is necessary to strengthen multi-dimensional collaborative design and integrated innovation, further promote self-healing technology with intelligent regeneration, and overcome performance limitations.
