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

Flexible piezoresistive sensors that offer both high sensitivity and a broad linear detection range are highly desirable for wearable health monitoring, as they facilitate simplified circuit design and enable accurate detection of subtle physiological signals. However, existing sensors typically encounter an intrinsic trade-off between sensitivity and linearity, primarily due to structural stiffening under increasing pressure. Here, a flexible piezoresistive pressure sensor featuring dual-graded microstructures (DGM) is reported, formed by embedding multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into a thermoplastic polyurethane matrix. Leveraging the synergistic effects of progressive structural deformation and MWCNTs-induced tunneling conduction, the sensor achieves a high sensitivity of 69.8 kPa⁻¹ and a broad linear sensing range up to 300 kPa (R
