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

We devised a signal-switching mechanism (SSM) based on the transportation of liquid metal droplets (LMDs). This method transmits power selectively to the light-emitting diode (LED) connected with a pair of electrodes, including a transported LMD. When an LMD is transported through a channel between multiple pairs of electrodes, the capacitance of the pair of electrodes decreases. In the SSM, we connected the electrodes with a coil and LEDs and investigated the frequency response of the impedance of the mechanism. As a result, we find the resonant phenomena of the SSM and the shift of the resonant frequency owing to the transportation of the LMD. By applying an alternating voltage, whose frequency corresponded with that of the resonant frequency of the LED-connected SSM, we could selectively transmit power to the LED activated by an LMD. Our equivalent circuit model quantitatively predicts the transmitted power and the shift in the resonant frequency due to the transportation of LMDs. The SSM using LMDs has a promising potential to contribute to soft multiplexers without complex wiring, where they can help integrate not only multiple sensors but also actuators as well.
