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.

Abstract
To address the structural complexity, limited detection sensitivity, and environmental susceptibility of the stable operating point in conventional fiber-optic current transformers for low-current detection, this study proposes a fiber-optic current transformer based on the coupling of an extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) and a lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramic (PZT). In the proposed sensor, a toroidal magnetic core and an induction winding are used as the current pickup unit to convert the measured alternating current into an induced voltage. This induced voltage directly drives the PZT to generate axial displacement, causing periodic variations in the length of the air Fabry-Perot cavity formed between the fiber end face and the coated quartz diaphragm. As a result, the current signal is converted into an optical interference intensity signal. To prevent the static operating point from deviating from the optimal linear region during EFPI intensity demodulation, a DC-component-feedback-based operating point control method is proposed. By adjusting the driving voltage of the fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter, the center wavelength of the incident narrowband demodulation light can track the optimal operating point of the interference spectrum, thereby improving the stability of the intensity demodulation process. Experimental results show that the fabricated sensor can generate a stable reflected interference spectrum and exhibits a relatively flat frequency response within the range of 0-7 kHz, indicating its potential for power-frequency current detection under the present laboratory conditions. When the measured current is 0.13 mA, the sensor can still produce a distinguishable sinusoidal output signal. When the measured current increases to 75 mA, obvious nonlinear distortion appears in the output signal, indicating that the sensor is approaching the boundary of its linear detection range. Within the linear operating region, the output peak-to-peak value shows good linearity with the measured current. The results indicate that the proposed EFPI-PZT fiber-optic current transformer has the advantages of a relatively simple structure, clear low-current response, and adjustable structural parameters, providing a reference for the miniaturized design and further development of new fiber-optic current sensors.
