Modeling Stratum Corneum Swelling for the Optimization of Electrode-Based Skin Hydration Sensors.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We present a novel computational model of the human skin designed to investigate dielectric spectroscopy electrodes for stratum corneum hydration monitoring. The multilayer skin model allows for the swelling of the stratum corneum, as well as the variations of the dielectric properties under several hydration levels. According to the results, the stratum corneum thickness variations should not be neglected. For high hydration levels, swelling reduces the skin capacitance in comparison to a fixed stratum corneum thickness model. In addition, different fringing-field electrodes are evaluated in terms of sensitivity to the stratum corneum hydration level. As expected, both conductance and capacitance types of electrodes are influenced by the electrode geometry and dimension. However, the sensitivity of the conductance electrodes is more affected by dimension changes than the capacitance electrode leading to potential design optimization.
