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

In this work, we report hyperelastic superomniphobic surfaces that have been engineered to retain superomniphobicity, without coating delamination, even at 400% strain and after thousands of stretch-release cycles. To achieve such hyperelastic superomniphobic surfaces, we introduce a novel design - an array of discrete microprotrusions on the hyperelastic material that redistribute the stresses out-of-plane during elongation. Such an out-of-plane redistribution of stresses results in nearly stress-free tops of the microprotrusions, allowing the coating to be virtually intact even after 5000 stretch-release cycles. Furthermore, through systematic experiments and theoretical analysis, we studied the influence of elongation on contact angles, sliding angles and breakthrough pressures on our hyperelastic superomniphobic surfaces. We envision that our robust hyperelastic superomniphobic surfaces will have a wide range of applications in wearable electronics, textiles, artificial skins, droplet manipulation and protective wraps.
