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.
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
The growing development of conductive functionalised textiles has attracted the interest of the automotive industry, which is seeking innovative solutions for seamless and futuristic interior design aimed at improving both vehicle aesthetics and user experience. In line with this trend, the present work investigates the electrical performances of two conductive flocked yarns, one incorporating silver-coated fibres and the other carbon black-based fibres, for potential application in smart automotive interiors. The stability of their electrical properties was also evaluated under thermal ageing and mechanical stress conditions. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) investigations provided information about the composition and structural properties of the yarns. Silver-based yarns demonstrated superior conductivity and thermal stability. In contrast, carbon-black yarns exhibited lower electrical performance and increased sensitivity to ageing due to filler agglomeration. A multitouch capacitive sensor prototype was also developed using the silver-based fabric and successfully integrated into a microcontroller platform. The results demonstrate the suitability of conductive flocked textiles for durable, low-voltage human-machine interfaces requiring robust, flexible, and responsive textile-based control surfaces, such as automotive applications, consumer electronics, and wearable technology.
