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

Soft material-enabled electronics offer distinct advantages over conventional rigid and bulky devices for numerous wearable and implantable applications. Soft materials allow for seamless integration with skin and tissues due to the enhanced mechanical flexibility and stretchability. Wearable devices with multiple sensors offer continuous, real-time monitoring of biosignals and movements, which can be applied for rehabilitation and diagnostics, among other applications. Soft implantable electronics offer similar functionalities, but with improved compatibility with human tissues. Biodegradable soft implantable electronics are also being developed for transient monitoring, such as in the weeks following surgeries. New composite materials, integration strategies, and fabrication techniques are being developed to further advance soft electronics. This paper reviews recent progresses in these areas towards the development of soft material-enabled electronics for medicine, healthcare, and human-machine interfaces.
