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

Transparent electronics has gained tremendous attention in recent years because of the growing demand for see-through devices in applications such as displays, windscreens, and wearables. These applications require transparent electronics in a large area and flexible form factors along with performances at par with conventional electronics. Additionally, the controlled transience and degradability of electronics are desired to reduce the end-of-life challenges. Attaining these attributes simultaneously is challenging as inherent material properties do not always align well, and there are technological limitations such as thermal budget issues in the case of flexible substrates. As a result, several materials and structures, including 1D nanowires, 2D nanosheets, metal oxides, and polymers etc., are explored. This comprehensive review discusses these developments related to transparent electronics as well as the challenges associated with the development of flexible and transient transparent electronics over large areas. Potential solutions to overcome these challenges and various resource-efficient deposition and printing technologies are also presented along with examples of reported transparent circuits, sensors, actuators, and energy devices. Finally, potential future directions are discussed for flexible transient transparent electronics as their ever-growing demand could lead to the emergence of new materials, fabrication techniques, and applications.
