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

The seamless integration of rigid/flexible electronic components into stretchable substrates is imperative for the realization of reliable stretchable electronics. However, the transition from flexible-to-stretchable substrates presents inherent challenges in interfacial behavior, predominantly arising from disparities in elastic moduli, thereby rendering their integration arduous for practical deployment. Here, we introduce a bioinspired interface-engineered flexible island (BIEFI), which effectively facilitates the creation of highly stretchable electronics by optimizing the interface with flexible mechanical interlocking mechanisms, resilient to physical deformations. Various electronic components, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells, are affixed onto the flexible island, showcasing its versatility as a robust platform for rigid components while ensuring the entire substrate maintains high stretchability. Additionally, a smart workout monitoring system is demonstrated by integrating a resistance band with a flexible-to-stretchable platform. This approach seamlessly integrates a wide range of rigid, flexible, and stretchable components, ensuring durability under diverse physical deformations.
