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

Heat flux sensors are of great significance for measuring heat transfer processes. However, due to the limitations of the thermal resistance thickness and the number of thermopile junctions, it is often difficult to combine the high sensitivity and fast response time in one heat flux sensor. In this work, we design the thermopile array based on the principle of hexagonal dense arrangement to increase the number of junctions in a limited area, and at the same time, we set up films with different functions at the hot and cold junctions to increase the temperature difference. Tests on multiple sensors show that in the range of 0-207 kW/m
