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

For many years there has been a strong research interest in soft electronics for artificial skin applications. However, one challenge with stretchable devices is the limited availability of high performance, stretchable, electrical conductors and semiconductors that remain stable under strain. Examples of such electronic skin require excessive amounts of wires to address each sensing element-compression force and strain-in a conventional matrix structure. Here, we present a new process for fabricating artificial skin consisting of an optical waveguide architecture, enabling wide ranging sensitivity to external mechanical compression and strain. The manufacturing process allows design of a fully stretchable polydimethylsiloxane elastomer waveguide with embedded gratings, replicated from low cost DVD-Rs. This optical artificial skin allows the detection of compression forces from 0 to 3.8 N with controllable sensitivity. It also permits monitoring of elongation deformations up to 135%. This type of stretchable optical sensor is highly robust, transparent, and presents a large sensing area while limiting the amount of wires connecting to the sensor. Thus, this optical artificial skin presents far superior mechanical properties compared to current electronic skin.
