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 study presents the development and characterization of biodegradable electrical interconnects for transient implantable medical devices. The interconnects comprised micropatterned biodegradable conductive polymer composites, which were developed using iron (Fe) microparticles as the conductive filler and polycaprolactone (PCL) as the insulating matrix. The electrical properties of the composites were investigated under various degradation conditions. Electrical percolation was observed at 17% iron volume fraction, but higher volume fractions exhibited more stable electrical resistivity throughout the time course of physiological degradation. The electrical resistivity of 40%vf Fe-PCL composites increased tenfold in an emulated packaged environment under degradation. Biodegradable electrical interconnects based on 40%vf Fe-PCL composites were successfully micropatterned in daisy chain structures, illustrating the process compatibility of Fe-PCL composites for interconnect applications. The electrical resistance of the packaged daisy chain structures exhibited a reasonable increase under degradation. An electrical lifetime of over 5 days was also achieved. System integration with a commercial humidity sensor and analytical calculations supporting other application scenarios confirmed the feasibility of micropatterned Fe-PCL interconnects for use in implantable electrical systems.
