Stretchable materials of high toughness and low hysteresis.

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 materials of all types, hysteresis and toughness are usually correlated. For example, a highly stretchable elastomer or hydrogel of a single polymer network has low hysteresis and low toughness. The single network is commonly toughened by introducing sacrificial bonds, but breaking and possibly reforming the sacrificial bonds causes pronounced hysteresis. In this paper, we describe a principle of stretchable materials that disrupt the toughness-hysteresis correlation, achieving both high toughness and low hysteresis. We demonstrate the principle by fabricating a composite of two constituents: a matrix of low elastic modulus, and fibers of high elastic modulus, with strong adhesion between the matrix and the fibers, but with no sacrificial bonds. Both constituents have low hysteresis (5%) and low toughness (300 J/m
