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 thermoelectric generators are sustainable devices that generate electricity from body heat to provide a continuous power supply for electronic devices. In healthcare, they are particularly valuable for powering wireless devices that transmit vital health signals, where maintaining an uninterrupted power source is a significant challenge. However, these generators are prone to failure over time or due to mechanical damage caused by mechanical stress or environmental factors, which can lead to the loss of critical healthcare data. To address these issues, the integration of self-healing capabilities alongside flexibility and longevity is essential for their reliable operation. To our knowledge, this review is one of the first to look in depth at self-healing materials specifically designed for wearable thermoelectric generators. It explores the latest innovations and applications in this field highlighting how these materials can improve the reliability and lifetime of such systems.
