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
Tactile perception involves the preprocessing of signals from slowly adapting and fast-adapting afferent neurons, which exhibit synapse-like interactions between mechanoreceptors and their dendrites or terminals, transmitting signals to the brain. Emulating these adaptation and sensory memory functions is crucial for artificial tactile sensing systems. Here, inspired by human tactile afferent systems, we present an array of artificial synaptic mechanoreceptors with built-in synaptic functions by vertically integrating synaptic transistors with a reduced graphene oxide channel, an ionogel gate dielectric and an elastomeric fingerprint-like receptive layer in an all-in-one platform. Triboelectric-capacitive gating between the receptive layer and gate dielectric in response to tactile stimulation governs excitatory post-synaptic current patterns, enabling slowly adapting and fast-adapting characteristics for signal preprocessing. The artificial synaptic mechanoreceptor array demonstrated handwriting style, surface pattern and texture discrimination via machine learning using fused slowly adapting and fast-adapting post-synaptic values, offering high data efficiency and potential for intelligent skin.
