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

Current smart dressings with wound monitoring and electrical stimulation capabilities rely on flexible electronics comprising various sensors and external power sources. Despite increasing efforts to integrate all these components onto flexible, breathable and biocompatible substrates, realizing a zero-power electrical stimulation without compromising the clinical applicability remains challenging. Here we report a solution that harnesses the temperature gradient between the wound and dressing to generate an electric stimulus that provides active wound healing management. This was achieved by a thermogalvanic cell (TGC) dressing composed of Fe
