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

Functional films have been widely utilized in flexible electronics, biosensing, and energy devices owing to their unique mechanical compliance and excellent interfacial transport efficiency. However, balancing structural precision with processing efficiency remains a key challenge in the scalable fabrication of uniform, low-aspect-ratio architectures across diverse material systems. Here, wide-flow aerosol jet printing (WF-AJP), a high-throughput printing method capable of generating planar aerosol jets, is introduced. Reshaping the nozzle into a flattened rectangular geometry generates a collimated planar flow that enables millimeter-scale deposition in a single pass (aspect ratio < 1:6000, thickness < 500 nm), a capability unattainable by conventional circular-nozzle printing. Systematic cross-scale characterization of the film formation process further reveals a delicate balance between macroscopic morphology and functional performance. A staggered deposition strategy that reduces interlayer accumulation and lowers electrical anisotropy is further implemented. Applications in conformal electrodes and skin-interfaced sensors highlight the versatility of WF-AJP for wearable and bio-integrated electronics. This work establishes a structure-controlled and scalable patterning paradigm for functional films, paving the way for future innovations in high-throughput additive manufacturing.
