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 work introduces a refractometric sensor based on multiple cascaded Michelson interferometers fabricated with long-period fiber gratings to classify different commercial brands of paracetamol as well as to measure solutions with different paracetamol concentrations. The operating principle is based on the interaction of light with the fiber-medium interface, such that variations in the refractive index provoke changes in the spectrum profile that can be measured at the output of the device. The brands used were Medley, Mejoral 500, Tempra, Tylenol, and excipient-free paracetamol (EFP). A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was used to recognize each brand with an F1-score of 92%. Also, using a projection to latent structures regression (PLSR), it was possible to quantify the paracetamol concentration with the best limit of detection (LOD) of 1.58 g/kg for the Mejoral brand.
