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 pressure sensors based on piezoelectric materials are being extensively investigated, but the potential of Parylene C in this application has rarely been explored, even though it has superior electrical insulation, excellent chemical inertness, flexibility, biocompatibility, and biostability. This study utilizes Parylene C as the piezoelectric layer, sandwiched between two copper electrodes and encapsulated with polyimide to fabricate a piezoelectric pressure sensor. Different Parylene C films of thicknesses comprising 10, 25, and 45 μm are prepared for the fabrication of the pressure sensors. The pressure sensors exhibit high sensitivities, with maximum pressure and frequency sensitivities of 87.62 and 580.95 mV Hz
