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

Underwater recording remains a critical challenge in bioelectronics because traditional flexible electrodes can not fulfill essential requirements such as stability and steady conductivity in aquatic environments. Herein, we show the use of elastic gels made of hydrophobic natural eutectic solvents as water-resistant electrodes. These eutectogels are designed with tailorable mechanical properties via one-step photopolymerization of acrylic monomers in different eutectic mixtures composed of fatty acids and menthol. The low viscosity of the eutectics turns the formulations into suitable inks for 3D printing, allowing fast manufacturing of complex objects. Furthermore, the hydrophobic nature of the building blocks endows the eutectogels with excellent stability and low water uptake. The obtained flexible eutectogel electrodes can record real-time electromyography (EMG) signals with low interference in the air and underwater.
