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

Implantable neural probes that can simultaneously possess biocompatibility, electrochemical stability, and high signal fidelity are the core devices in neuroelectrophysiological research. In this article, AlGaN/GaN heterojunction field-effect transistors are used instead of traditional metal microelectrodes to prepare brain nerve probes. By photoelectrochemical etching and optimization of sensing area size, the probes have the maximum transconductance value, i.e., the highest sensitivity, under no gate control. After digital filtering processing, the neural probe achieved a signal-to-noise ratio of 8.04 dB on biological analog signals as low as 50 µV, confirming its ability to detect microvolt-level signals. The ex vivo recording of the bullfrog sciatic nerve further validated its biosensing performance, demonstrating the selective capture of composite action potentials from active neural tissue.
