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

The adaptive structure and excellent actuation of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) make them promising candidates for soft robotics, haptic interfaces and artificial muscles. A wide variety of elastomers have been synthesised and investigated as dielectrics. Inorganic polymers such as polysiloxanes and polyphosphazenes have a low glass transition temperature. While polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has made its way into DEAs, the latter has received little attention in this field. Here, we present a dielectric elastomer based on polyphosphazene modified with 2,2,2,-trifluoroethoxy groups as the dielectric, which exhibits a dielectric permittivity two times higher than polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS), excellent elasticity and a high dielectric breakdown field. These properties enable fast, reliable actuation and higher electrostatic forces than conventional PDMS. The actuators can withstand repeated actuation cycles and are suitable for long-term reliability applications.
