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

Flexible alternating-current electroluminescent (ACEL) devices combine light emission with mechanical flexibility, enabling applications in wearables, soft robotics, and human-machine interfaces. Previous attempts to lower the driving voltage using high-permittivity fillers (e.g., BaTiO₃, liquid metals, ionic liquids) improved dielectric properties, but the inclusion of these heterogeneous fillers often compromised transparency and pattern clarity. Here, we report a printable, transparent high-dielectric ink that addresses these issues. By incorporating small high-dielectric molecules into a polymer matrix and employing screen printing with one-step photopolymerization, we fabricated patterned ACEL devices of high quality. The ink exhibits a dielectric constant up to 25 and transparency up to 90%, enabling efficient emission at a low voltage of ~0.33 V µm⁻¹, among the lowest reported. Its excellent printability supports scalable, cost-effective patterning, and devices can be wirelessly powered by harvesting ambient electromagnetic energy for chip- and battery-free operation.
