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

Porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is physically flexible, thermally and chemically stable, relatively inexpensive, and commercially available. It is attractive for various flexible sensors. This paper has studied flexible capacitive humidity sensors fabricated on porous PTFE substrates. Graphene oxide (GO) was used as a sensing material, both hydrophobic and hydrophilic porous PTFE as the substrates, and interdigitated electrodes on the PTFE substrates were screen-printed. SEM and Raman spectrum were utilized to characterize GO and PTFE. An ethanol soak process is developed to increase the yield of the humidity sensors based on hydrophobic porous PTFE substrates. Static and dynamic properties of these sensors are tested and analyzed. It demonstrates that the flexible capacitive humidity sensors fabricated on the ethanol-treated hydrophobic PTFE exhibit high sensitivity, small hysteresis, and fast response/recovery time.
