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 incorporation of waterborne polyurethane (WPU) into bacterial cellulose (BC) fibers significantly improved the tensile strength of the resulting WPU/BC composite film, achieving an enhancement of 19.4 times. The formation of hydrogen bonds between WPU and BC effectively eliminates cavities within the BC matrix, achieving significant plasticization and toughening. Compared with the pure BC film (WPU/BC-0), the elastic modulus of the WPU/BC-5 composite film is reduced by 97.5%, and surface hardness is decreased by 96.9%. When integrated with a flexible EGaIn electrode, the wearable composite film demonstrated exceptional potential in flexible electronics, reliably enabling point-of-care detection of human electrocardiograph (ECG) signals. This WPU-regulated BC approach provides a promising alternative for fabricating flexible and durable substrates suitable for wearable device applications.
