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

Human skin is essential for perception, encompassing haptic, thermal, proprioceptive, and pain-sensing functions through ion movement. Additionally, it is mechanically resilient and self-healing for protection. Inspired by these unique properties, researchers have attempted to develop stretchable, self-healing sensors based on ion dynamics. However, most self-healing sensors reported to date suffer from low fracture strength and toughness. In this work, we present an ion-based self-healing electronic skin with exceptionally high fracture strength and toughness. We enhanced self-healing polymers and ionic conductors by introducing two types of orthogonal dynamic crosslinking bonds: dynamic aromatic disulfide bonds and 2-ureido-4-pyrimidone moieties. These dynamic bonds provide autonomous self-healing and high mechanical toughness even in the presence of ionic liquids. As a result, our self-healing polymer and self-healing ionic conductor exhibit remarkable stretchability (700%, 850%), fracture strength (34 MPa, 30 MPa), and toughness (78.5 MJ/m
