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 and biocompatible electrodes are crucial components in developing future wearable and implantable biomedical devices. In this work, a novel composite bioelectrode from cellulose, supported by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and glycerol were developed. Cellulose, an abundant and biodegradable biopolymer, provides the conductivity, while PDMS provides the support and the mechanical elasticity. All together, they provide elasticity and skin-conformability. Glycerol was added in this work as it also acts as an ionic conductor and a plasticizer, thus, improving interfacial charge transfer and electrode hydration stability. The composite was fabricated by an easy polymerization and curing process. The morphological, electrochemical, and mechanical characteristics of the fabricated electrode were evaluated. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) showed low impedance, high conductivity, and stability. The electrochemical characteristics demonstrated the lowest bulk resistance of 0.658 kΩ, a conductivity of 0.0193 S m
