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

Smart textiles have properties that outperform the conventional protective and decorative function of textiles. By integrating special sensors into clothing, body functions and movements can be detected. Piezoresistive sensors measure a change in electrical resistance due to the application of force in the form of stretching, pressure or bending. In order to manufacture such sensors, conventional non-conductive textile materials need to be made conductive by finishing processes. Therefore, a non-conductive silicone monofilament was coated with a conductive carbon silicone and additional silver-containing components and investigated for its suitability as a strain sensor. The changes in electrical resistance and the gauge factor as a measure of the sensitivity of a sensor were measured and calculated. In this publication, the electrical properties of such a filament-based sensor in the context of particle composition and concentration are discussed. The electrical resistance was already significantly reduced in a first step by coating with conductive carbon silicone (145 kΩ). The addition of silver-containing components further reduced the electrical resistance in a second step. Thereby, flat flakes of silver proved to be much more effective than silver-containing particles (5 kΩ at 20% addition). The former was easier to integrate into the coating and formed contact surfaces with each other at higher concentrations. Stretching the samples increased the resistance by enlarging the distance between the conductive components. With 30% silver-coated glass flakes in the coating, the highest gauge factor of 0.33 was achieved. Consequently, the changes in electrical resistance during stretching can be exploited to detect motion and the gauge factor indicates that even small changes in strain can be detected, so the herein developed coated monofilaments are suggested for use as strain sensors. Future work includes matching the particle composition and concentration to the exact application and investigating the sensors in the field.
