Creating Stretchable Electronics from Dual Layer Flex-PCB for Soft Robotic Cardiac Mapping Catheters.
Article in Micromachines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The authors present in this study the development of a novel method for creating stretchable electronics from dual-layer flex printed circuit boards (flex-PCBs) as a platform for soft robotic sensor arrays (SRSAs) for cardiac voltage mapping applications. There is a crucial need for devices that utilize multiple sensors and provide high performance signal acquisition for cardiac mapping. Previously, our group demonstrated how single-layer flex-PCB can be postprocessed to create a stretchable electronic sensing array. In this work, a detailed fabrication process for creating a dual-layer multielectrode flex-PCB SRSA is presented, along with relevant parameters to achieve optimal postprocessing with a laser cutter. The dual-layer flex-PCB SRSA's ability to acquire electrical signals is demonstrated both in vitro as well as in vivo on a Leporine cardiac surface. These SRSAs could be extended into full-chamber cardiac mapping catheter applications. Our results show a significant contribution towards the scalable use of dual-layer flex-PCB for stretchable electronics.
