Stretchable Cellulosic Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Filaments with Color Response.
Article in ACS applied polymer materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Utilizing soft optical materials in mechanochromic sensing is an intriguing concept with several application areas in soft robotics and functional wearables. Herein, we developed stretchable cholesteric cellulosic liquid crystal filaments by simply encapsulating the aqueous hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) mesophases in a sealed thermoplastic elastomeric tubing. The tubular confinement of the HPC induced a well-defined cholesteric structure in which the quasi-layers are concentrically distributed along the fiber axis. The flow properties of the aqueous HPC showcased the ability to mimic the stretching and relaxing behavior of the elastomeric tubing, resulting in a spontaneous color change in response to mechanical deformation. This soft optical system can act as a stretchable colorimetric sensor for both tensile and compression forces enabled by the uniform alignment and dynamic deformation of the HPC mesophase.
