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

Stretchable polymer semiconductors are identified as the fundamental component of wearable devices for emerging applications, including in-sensor computing and personalized medical treatment. However, mechanical deformation invariably leads to the degradation of electrical properties. Rational design strategies to improve mechanical robustness and conformability without compromising electronic performance are paramount, combining with feasible technologies tailored to specific device structures, thus providing solutions for varying application scenarios. This review discusses recent progresses in stretchable polymer semiconductors, emphasizing design strategies for achieving intrinsic stretchability as well as structural stretchability. Subsequently, the strain energy dissipation mechanism is highlighted for an in-depth understanding of the domination of molecular structure and geometric morphology on stretchability. Their applications in human-machine interaction and flexible bioelectronics are also provided. In the end, perspectives on the remaining challenges and future opportunities in this field are laid out.
