Adaptive Sports Bra Design for Adolescents: A Flexible Fit Solution.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 development of adaptive and comfortable sports bras is essential for adolescents, who experience rapid changes in body morphology during growth. Traditional bras, often made with molded polyurethane bra pads, frequently fail to accommodate these variations, leading to discomfort and poor fit. This study investigates the design of a flexible-fit bra utilizing advanced knitting technology and bio-based materials, including organic cotton and renewable acetate, to enhance comfort and adaptability. The bra, crafted from bio-based yarns, offers stretchability, breathability, and fit, allowing it to adapt to various breast shapes and sizes. Such a bra design is particularly suitable for adolescents undergoing rapid growth. This study includes assessments of material properties and user feedback to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and identify areas for improvement. Positive results were reported from both material tests and subjective evaluations, confirming the effectiveness of the design. The seamless knitting minimizes irritation, while the inlay spacer fabric absorbs impact, and the pointelle structure improves moisture management. Adjustable components enhance adaptability and ensure a flexible fit. This study highlights the potential of knitted biomaterials for creating adaptive intimate apparel, offering a scalable solution for size-inclusive fashion.
