On the Breathability of Epidermal Polymeric-Printed Tattoo Electrodes.
Article in ACS applied electronic materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Tattoo sensors offer many of the features of next-generation epidermal devices. They are ultrathin and conformable electrodes that have been shown to record high-quality biosignals from the skin. Moreover, they can be fabricated through large-area processing such as printing. Here, we report on printed poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) tattoo electrodes breathability. Epidermal devices require a breathable interface to ensure a physiological transepidermal water loss for reduced skin inflammation and discomfort of the user. In this work, we deeply examine the polymeric tattoo sensor's permeability properties with complementary experiments. By assessing the water permeance, the water-vapor transmission rate, and the impedance spectroscopy of polymeric tattoo electrodes, we show that they are intrinsically breathable, establishing a dry interface with the skin. The stability of such a dry interface is shown through the recording of muscle activity during sport when the sweat rate is much higher. While breathability is often hindered in conventional epidermal sensors, in PEDOT:PSS tattoo electrodes, it lies at the core of a stable sensor performance.
