Shell-Forming Stimulus-Active Hydrogel Composite Membranes: Concept and Modeling.
Article in Micromachines, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The swelling of active hydrogels combined with passive layers allows the design of shell-forming structures. A shell-like structure offers different properties than a flat structure, e.g., variations in bending stiffness across different directions. A drastic increase of the bending stiffness is favorable e.g., in rollable/flexible displays: in their unrolled form, they have to be stiff enough to resist bending due to dead weight. At the same time, they have to be flexible enough to be rolled-up. This can be achieved by shell-forming. In the current modeling and simulation work, we present a basic concept of combined active-passive composites and demonstrate how they form shells. As the example material class, we use hydrogels with isotropic swelling capabilities. We demonstrate how to model the combined mechanical behavior with the Temperature-Expansion-Model. Afterwards, we show numerical results obtained by Finite Element simulations. We conclude that the envisioned structure has a great potential for obtaining soft rollable sheets that can be stiffened by intrinsic activation.
