Strain-Sensitive Thermochromic Smart Electronic Skin for Joint and Spine Healthcare Applications.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Electronic skins (E-skins) that enable interactive and quantitative joint and spine healthcare hold transformative potential for personalized musculoskeletal rehabilitation. However, existing systems face three critical limitations: conventional strain sensors degrade with cyclic large strain due to uncontrolled crack propagation; thermal therapy lacks real-time adaptive control without feedback; and systems lack user-interactive monitoring-therapy integration. Here, iStretch, a mechano-visual-thermo adaptive e-skin is introduced that integrates durable strain sensing, dynamic heat therapy, and intuitive visual feedback via a multiphasic and bilayer architecture. The strain-sensing bottom layer utilises constrained microcrack propagation in graphene-liquid metal nanocomposites, achieving high sensitivity (GF = 281), broad sensing range (300%), and exceptional durability (10,000 cycles). Simultaneously, the thermoresponsive top layer provides dynamic visual feedback and heat modulation in response to strain. Its multifunctions are demonstrated for convolutional neural network-powered omnidirectional motion and gesture recognition, strain magnitude-adjusted thermotherapy, intuitive thermochromic overheating alerts, and quantitative cervical spine monitoring via wireless sensor arrays.
