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

Accurate temperature monitoring plays a crucial role in understanding the physiological status of patients and the early diagnosis of diseases commonly associated with local and global infections. Intradermal temperature measurement is, in principle, more precise than skin surface detection, as it prevents interference from environmental temperature changes and skin secretions. However, to date, precise and reliable intradermal temperature monitoring in a real-time and continuous manner remains a challenge. We propose herein high-resolution 3D printing to fabricate a mechanically robust and biocompatible hollow microneedle, filled with a temperature-responsive conducting polymer (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrenesulfonate, PEDOT:PSS) to develop a microneedle temperature sensor (T-MN). The significance is 2-fold: rational design of robust MNs with high resolution in the micrometer domain and the implementation of a conducting polymer in a MN format for temperature sensing. The analytical performance of the developed T-MN is in vitro evaluated under mimicked intradermal conditions, demonstrating good sensitivity (-0.74%° C
