Mechanically Robust and Conductive Gelatin/Glucose Hydrogels Enabled by the Hofmeister Effect for Flexible Strain Sensors.
Article in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Conductive hydrogels are attractive for flexible electronics; however, achieving high mechanical strength and conductivity simultaneously remains challenging. Herein, we present a facile strategy to fabricate a tough and conductive hydrogel by immersing a physically crosslinked gelatin/glucose hydrogel in an aqueous sodium citrate. The introduction of sodium citrate induced multiple physical interactions via the Hofmeister effect, which synergistically reinforced the hydrogel network. The resulting hydrogel exhibited excellent mechanical properties, with a fracture strength of 2.7 MPa, a fracture strain of 932%, and a toughness of 9.5 MJ/m
