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

Chronic high-fidelity electroencephalogram (EEG) recording faces challenges due to weak EEG signals and presence of hair, which create interfacial gaps and motion artifacts. To ensure reliable EEG recording, stable connection between electrodes and the scalp is essential. Metallic electrodes with electrolyte gel are commonly used, but their stability is often affected by gel drying and inconsistent electrode positioning across sessions. Here, we report stick-and-play hairlike device that can attach to the human scalp without the need for skin preparation, using a highly flexible and stretchable electrode material and robust bioadhesive material. The hairlike device can be worn for long term without being noticeable, maintaining a stable skin adhesion and interface impedance across different recording sessions and hundred cycles of cyclic loading. The design, which mimics human hair, makes it indistinguishable from a natural look. Additionally, the hairlike device has been demonstrated as an efficient medium for long-term, high-quality EEG recordings.
