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

Multifunctional materials with distributed sensing and programmed mechanical properties are required for myriad emerging technologies. However, current fabrication techniques constrain these materials' design and sensing capabilities. We address these needs with a method for sensorizing architected materials through fluidic innervation, where distributed networks of empty, air-filled channels are directly embedded within an architected material's sparse geometry. By measuring pressure changes within these channels, we receive feedback regarding material deformation. Thus, this technique allows for three-dimensional printing of sensorized structures from a single material. With this strategy, we fabricate sensorized soft robotic actuators on the basis of handed shearing auxetics and accurately predict their kinematics from the sensors' proprioceptive feedback using supervised learning. Our strategy for facilitating structural, sensing, and actuation capabilities through control of form alone simplifies sensorized material design for applications spanning wearables, smart structures, and robotics.
