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

Face masks with multiple functionalities and exceptional durability have attracted increasing interests during the COVID-19 pandemic. How to integrate the antibacterial property, comfortability during long-time wearing, and breath monitoring capability together on a face mask is still challenging. Here we developed a kind of face mask that assembles the particles-free water-repellent fabric, antibacterial fabric, and hidden breath monitoring device together, resulting in the highly breathable, water-repellent, and antibacterial face mask with breath monitoring capability. Based on the rational design of the functional layers, the mask shows exceptional repellency to micro-fogs generated during breathing while maintaining high air permeability and inhibiting the passage of bacteria-containing aerogel. More importantly, the multi-functional mask can also monitor the breath condition in a wireless and real-time fashion, and collect the breath information for epidemiological analysis. The resultant mask paves the way to develop multi-functional breath-monitoring masks that can aid the prevention of the secondary transmission of bacteria and viruses while preventing potential discomfort and face skin allergy during long-period wearing.
