Conformability of flexible sheets on spherical surfaces.
Article in Science advances, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
Three-dimensional surface-conformable electronics is a burgeoning technology with potential applications in curved displays, bioelectronics, and biomimetics. Flexible electronics are notoriously difficult to fully conform to nondevelopable surfaces such as spheres. Although stretchable electronics can well conform to nondevelopable surfaces, they need to sacrifice pixel density for stretchability. Various empirical designs have been explored to improve the conformability of flexible electronics on spherical surfaces. However, no rational design guidelines exist. This study uses a combination of experimental, analytical, and numerical approaches to systematically investigate the conformability of both intact and partially cut circular sheets on spherical surfaces. Through the analysis of thin film buckling on curved surfaces, we identify a scaling law that predicts the conformability of flexible sheets on spherical surfaces. We also quantify the effects of radial slits on enhancing conformability and provide a practical guideline for using these slits to improve conformability from 40% to more than 90%.
