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

Traditional polyurethanes have gained widespread application due to their excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance, and processability. However, these materials are susceptible to cracking or fracture under environmental stresses. In recent years, self-healing polyurethanes have garnered significant attention as a critical research field owing to their key capabilities, such as repairing physical damage, restoring mechanical strength, structural adaptability, and cost-effective manufacturing. This review systematically examines the healing mechanisms, structural characteristics, and performance metrics of self-healing polyurethanes, with in-depth analysis of their repair efficacy across various applications-particularly in flexible electronic devices. It demonstrates that self-healing polyurethanes overcome traditional failure modes in flexible electronics through self-repair-function integration mechanisms. Their stimuli-responsive healing behavior is driving the evolution of this field toward an intelligent regenerative electronics paradigm.
