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.
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
In this paper, a highly sensitive carbon monoxide (CO) light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy (LITES) sensor based on tapered-fiber focusing and a fiber-coupled multipass cell (MPC) is demonstrated for the first time. An MPC with a fiber-coupled structure and an optical length of 40 m is employed to significantly increase the effective absorption path length, reduce the difficulty of optical alignment, and improve the robustness of the sensor system. By comparing five different beam shaping and focusing schemes at the MPC output, the influence of the excitation spot size on the generation of the LITES signal is thoroughly investigated. Experimental results demonstrate that the system response is significantly enhanced as the spot size is compressed. Owing to the micron-scale focused spot produced by the tapered fiber end face, the tapered-fiber configuration exhibits the strongest sensing response among the five schemes. This configuration achieves the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and exhibits a good linear response to CO concentration. The minimum detection limit (MDL) of the proposed CO-LITES sensor is 3.86 ppm. Based on Allan deviation analysis, when the system integration time reaches 300 s, the minimum detection limit can be further improved to 304 ppb, demonstrating excellent long-term stability.
