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

Gallium-based liquid metals are promising for stretchable electronics due to their inherent deformability and excellent conductivity. However, the lack of a scalable and automated fabrication process has limited their practical applications. This study introduces a two-step method to create liquid metal emulsion gels suitable for 3D printing, characterized by densely packed liquid metal microcapsules within polymer matrices. The resulting emulsion gel demonstrates favorable rheological properties for 3D printing and minimal shrinkage through solidification. With a substantial fraction of sizable microcapsules, the printed features can be activated into compliant conductors with exceptional conductivity of ≈2.2× 10
