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

Seamlessly fusing fashion and functionality can redefine wearable technology and enhance the quality of life. We propose a pocketable and smart electrohydrodynamic pump (PSEP) with self-sensing capability for wearable thermal controls. Overcoming the constraints of traditional liquid-cooled wearables, PSEP with dimensions of 10 × 2 × 1.05 cm and a weight of 10 g is sufficiently compact to fit into a shirt pocket, providing stylish and unobtrusive thermal control. Silent operation coupled with the unique self-sensing ability to monitor the flow rate ensures system reliability without cumbersome additional components. The significant contribution of our study is the formulation and validation of a theoretical model for self-sensing in EHD pumps, thereby introducing an innovative functionality to EHD pump technology. PSEP can deliver temperature changes of up to 3 °C, considerably improving personal comfort. Additionally, the PSEP system features an intuitive, smartphone-compatible interface for seamless wireless control and monitoring, enhancing user interaction and convenience. Furthermore, the ability to detect and notify users of flow blockages, achieved by self-sensing, ensures an efficient and long-term operation. Through its blend of compact design, intelligent functionality, and stylish integration into daily wear, PSEP reshapes the landscape of wearable thermal control technology and offers a promising avenue for enhancing personal comfort in daily life.
