Multiscale crack trapping for programmable adhesives.
Article in Science advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 precise control of crack propagation at bonded interfaces is crucial for smart adhesives with advanced performance. However, previous studies have primarily concentrated on either microscale or macroscale crack propagation. Here, we present a hybrid adhesive that integrates microarchitectures and macroscopic nonlinear cut architectures for unparalleled adhesion control. The integration of these architectural elements enables conformal attachment and simultaneous crack trapping across multiple scales for high capacity, enhancing adhesion by more than 70×, while facilitating crack propagation at the macroscale in specific directions for programmable release and reusability. As adhesion strength and directionality can be independently controlled at any location, skin adhesive patches are created that are breathable, nondamaging, and exceptionally strong and secure yet remove easily. These capabilities are demonstrated with a skin-mounted adhesive patch with integrated electronics that accurately detects human motion and wirelessly transmits signals, enabling real-time control of avatars in virtual reality applications.
