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

Wearable electronics are becoming increasingly popular for personalized healthcare. These devices often use hydrophobic, pressure-sensitive adhesives to adhere to various parts of the body. With prolonged skin contact, commercial adhesives have been shown to cause allergic contact dermatitis as well as significant loss of adhesive strength when exposed to moisture and ionic compounds, such as sweat. To address these common issues, the development of a polyelectrolyte-based skin adhesive for wearable devices is underway. Here, it is demonstrated how coacervation is induced with a system composed of polyethylenimine (PEI) and sodium hexametaphosphate (PSP) as the counter polyelectrolyte. The coacervate is deposited onto a polyurethane film to form an effective adhesive that is mechanically comparable to a commercially available one, offering a promising alternative for wearable devices.
