Bioinspired adaptive lipid-integrated bilayer coating for enhancing dynamic water retention in hydrogel-based flexible sensors.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
While hydrogel-based flexible sensors find extensive applications in fields such as medicine and robotics, their performance can be hindered by the rapid evaporation of water, leading to diminished sensitivity and mechanical durability. Despite the exploration of some effective solutions, such as introducing organic solvents, electrolytes, and elastomer composites, these approaches still suffer from problems including diminished conductivity, interface misalignment, and insufficient protection under dynamic conditions. Inspired by cell membrane structures, we developed an adaptive lipid-integrated bilayer coating (ALIBC) to enhance water retention in hydrogel-based sensors. Lipid layers and long-chain amphiphilic molecules are used as compact coating and anchoring agents on the hydrogel surface, mimicking the roles of lipids and membrane proteins in cell membranes, while spare lipids from aggregates within hydrogels can migrate to the surface to combat dehydration under deformation. This lipid-integrated bilayer coating prevents the water evaporation of hydrogels at both static and dynamic states without affecting the inherent flexibility, conductivity, and no cytotoxicity. Hydrogel-based sensors with ALIBC exhibited significantly enhanced performance in conditions of body temperature, extensive deformation, and long-term dynamic sensing. This work presents a general approach for precisely controlling the water-retaining capacity of hydrogels and hydrogel-based sensors without compromising their intrinsic physical properties.
