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
We report large-scale and multiplexed tactile sensors with submillimeter-scale shear sensation and autonomous and real-time closed-loop grip adjustment. We leveraged dual-gate piezoelectric zinc oxide (ZnO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated on flexible substrates to record normal and shear forces with high sensitivity over a broad range of forces. An individual ZnO TFT can intrinsically sense, amplify, and multiplex force signals, allowing ease of scalability for multiplexing from hundreds of elements with 100-μm spatial and sub-10-ms temporal resolutions. Notably, exclusive feedback from the tactile sensor array enabled rapid adjustment of grip force to slip, enabling the direct autonomous robotic tactile perception with a single modality. For biomedical and implantable device applications, pulse sensing and underwater flow detection were demonstrated. This robust technology, with its reproducible and reliable performance, can be immediately translated for use in industrial and surgical robotics, neuroprosthetics, implantables, and beyond.
