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

Wearable sensors have attracted considerable interest due to their ability to detect a variety of information generated by human physiological activities through physical and chemical means. The performance of wearable sensors is limited by their stability, and endowing wearable sensors with superhydrophobicity is one of the means to enable them to maintain excellent performance in harsh environments. This review emphasizes the imperative progress in flexible superhydrophobic sensors for wearable devices. Besides, the wettability principle and the mechanism of wearable sensors are briefly introduced to propose the combination of superhydrophobicity and wearable sensors. Next, superhydrophobic substrates for wearable sensors, including but not limited to, polydimethylsiloxane, polyurethane, gel, rubber, and fabric, are described in depth, and also the respective fabrication processes and performances. Moreover, the utility of superhydrophobic wearable sensors in a normal intelligent environment is described, highlighting their application in monitoring physiological signals, such as physical movement, pulse, vibration, temperature, perspiration, respiration, and so on. Finally, this review evaluates the challenges and dilemmas that wearable sensors must be overcome for further development and improve the functional performance of wearable sensors, paving the way for their expansion into advanced wearable sensing systems.
