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

Sensory rehabilitation in pediatric patients with traumatic spinal cord injury is challenging due to the ongoing development of their nervous systems. However, these sensory problems often result in nonuse of the impaired limb, which disturbs impaired limb rehabilitation and leads to overuse of the contralateral limb and other physical or psychological issues that may persist. Here, we introduce a soft nanomembrane sensor-enabled wearable glove system that wirelessly delivers a haptic sensation from the hand with tactile feedback responses for sensory impairment assistance. The smart glove system uses gold nanomembranes, copper-elastomer composites, and laser-induced graphene for the sensitive detection of pressure, temperature, and strain changes. The nanomaterial sensors are integrated with low-profile tactile actuators and wireless flexible electronics to offer real-time sensory feedback. The wearable system's thin-film sensors demonstrate 98% and 97% accuracy in detecting pressure and finger flexion, respectively, along with a detection coverage of real-life temperature changes as an effective rehabilitation tool. Collectively, the upper-limb sensory impairment assistance system embodies the latest in soft materials and wearable technology to incorporate soft sensors and miniaturized actuators and maximize its compatibility with human users, offering a promising solution for patient sensory rehabilitation.
