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 development of electronic skin, soft robots, and smart wearables has significantly driven advances in flexible pressure sensing technology. However, traditional multilayer solid-structure flexible pressure sensors encounter challenges at temperatures between 100 °C and 150 °C due to high-temperature modal distortion. Changes in the conductivity of the sensor's conductive components interfere with accurate pressure measurement. In this research, a flexible pressure sensor with a convective liquid metal sensitive layer is proposed. The sensor uses a cyclic self-cooling mechanism to lower the temperature of its conductive components, reducing the impact of external high temperatures on the pressure measurement accuracy. At a 2.8 W thermal load, the flexible sensor, with liquid metal circulating at 2.0 mL/min, exhibits a sensitivity of 0.11 kPa⁻¹ within the pressure range from 0 to 12.5 kPa, and its maximum measurable pressure is 30 kPa. In addition, the resistance of the sensor is 18.5 mΩ less than that of a stationary liquid metal sensor, representing a 38.1% reduction. The sensor proposed in this research introduces a novel strategy for pressure measurement in high-temperature applications, extending the application scope to aircraft, special robots, and hydraulic oil circuits.
