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

High-performance wearable textiles made from poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) hold great promise for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in military and healthcare systems. However, achieving an optimal balance of resilience, flexibility, and electrical properties is challenging due to weak interfacial interactions between PEDOT:PSS and the host substrates. In this study, a robust and stretchable wearable textile fabricated via vacuum-assisted impregnation of PEDOT:PSS is presented onto an electrospun polyurethane (PU) nanofiber mat. The process creates a convoluted interlock network at the interface layer between PEDOT:PSS and PU nanofiber mat, enhanced by the large contact area, effective chemical interactions, and vacuum-induced pressure. This results in exceptional tensile strength of 51.2 MPa, 207% elongation, and 86% elastic recovery, surpassing the practical requirement threshold of wearable textiles and fibers. The robust PU-PEDOT:PSS nanofiber mat shows a normalized EMI shielding effectiveness value of 365.2 dB mm
