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

Conductive hydrogels (CHs) are characterized by their distinctive three-dimensional (3D) network architecture enhanced by physically entangled or chemically cross-linked polymer chains. In recent years, these materials have garnered significant scientific interest owing to their unique combination of inherent electrical conductivity and remarkable capability to transduce external stimuli into measurable electronic signals. The immense potentials of those CHs in a number of applications catalyzed this review to summarize their specific properties and applications in biosensing, bioelectronics and bioengineering. Firstly, the preparation and unique properties of CHs were summarized, including mechanical properties, adhesion properties, self-healing capabilities, conductivity, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. We demonstrated tremendous potentials of CHs in the real world by showcasing their broad applications in biosensing (such as nerve sensing, strain sensing, glucose sensing, tumor sensing, temperature sensing, and environmental sensing), bioelectronics and bioengineering (such as treatment of cardiac and wound healing). Finally, by presenting current challenges and issues of CHs, future potential research directions were outlined for their applications in the study of biosensing, bioelectronics and bioengineering.
