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

This paper presents a differential capacitive horizontal pendulum tiltmeter based on electrostatic feedback force. The system mainly consists of a horizontal pendulum bob, a triangular platform, a pendulum locking motor, a differential capacitive sensing circuit, an electrostatic feedback circuit, and a sealed protective housing. The electrostatic feedback differential capacitive horizontal pendulum tiltmeter does not introduce a novel tilt measurement principle; its pendulum still adopts the classic Zöllner double-suspension-wire configuration. In this study, engineering improvements were implemented on the conventional quartz horizontal pendulum tiltmeter by replacing quartz fibers with tungsten wires, substituting optical lever sensors with capacitive sensors, and incorporating the electrostatic feedback principle. The improved tiltmeter features a compact structure and reduced size, which greatly facilitates deployment and installation while significantly enhancing practical applicability. Moreover, it overcomes the drawback of conventional horizontal pendulums-namely, that the scale factor varies with inclination and requires frequent calibration-and thus holds considerable importance for geophysical ground deformation observation.
