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

In this study, we demonstrate a strain sensor fabricated as a hybrid structure of a conductive intermittent pattern with embedded single droplets of a functional resistive ink. The main feature of our proposed sensor design is that although the intermittent pattern comprises the majority of the entire sensor area, the strain sensitivity depends almost selectively on the resistive droplets. This opens up the possibility for fast and inexpensive evaluation of sensors manufactured from various functional materials. As the use of resistive ink was limited to single droplets deposition, the required ink amount needed to build a sensor can be considerably reduced. This makes the sensors cost-effective and simple for fabrication. In this study, our proposed sensor design was evaluated when a carbon-based ink was used as the resistive material incorporated into an intermittent structure made of silver. The developed strain sensors were tested during bending deformations demonstrating good strain sensitivity (gauge factor: 7.71) and no hysteresis within the investigated strain range.
