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

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are soft transducers with great potential in soft robotics applications. Reducing the driving voltage and increasing the reliability of DEAs remain major challenges that need to be addressed. This can be achieved using thin dielectric elastomer films with high dielectric permittivity and low Young's modulus. Herein, high dielectric permittivity polysiloxanes were synthesized by functionalizing a polymethyvinylsiloxane with varying ratios of polar 3-mercaptosulfolane and mercaptobutyl groups, which allows for fine-tuning the dielectric permittivity of the resulting polymers. Thin films were cast using the doctor blade process and subsequently cross-linked
