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

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) necessitate stretchable electrodes that show mechanical compliance and sustain conductivity even under stretching. A percolative network of silver nanowires (AgNWs) as an ultrathin film formed on the elastomer meets all these requirements as stretchable electrodes. However, AgNWs are prone to thermal degradation due to resistive heating caused by applied electrical current. This work introduces a hybrid stretchable electrode of AgNWs coated by graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) to produce more resilient and durable DEAs. GNPs added to preformed AgNW structures act as a protective layer, mitigating localized heating at NW junctions and eventually preventing DEA failure. The hybrid electrodes show a sheet resistance as low as 9 Ω/sq and electromechanical strain as high as 56.5% at an electric field of 45 V/μm when integrated into the DEAs. The AgNW/GNP DEAs also show high endurance, withstanding an applied electric field up to 70 V/μm without failure. This work showcases the advantages of rationally selected hybrid materials that produce more resilient DEAs.
