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

Hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for bioelectronic interfaces due to their tissue-like properties and high-water content. However, conventional hydrogels often suffer from poor electrical conductivity and mechanical stability, limiting their performance in long-term bioelectronic applications. Electronic conductivity can be imparted to hydrogels by functionalizing them with conductive particles. However, patterning of electronically conductive features within hydrogels remains challenging. Electronically conductive μm-sized patterns embedded in soft hydrogels would open up new possibilities to integrate hydrogel bioelectronics with electronic devices. Here, we introduce covalently crosslinked hydrogels with Young's moduli below 30 kPa that can be functionalized with metallic electronically conductive paths reaching an electronic conductivity up to (1505 ± 518) S cm
