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

Gecko-inspired adhesives, which are traditionally based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), are suitable for the delicate handling of 3D objects under vacuum and microgravity conditions but lose almost all their adhesion strength in environments below their crystallization temperatures. To address this issue, poly(methyl-phenyl-vinyl)siloxane (PMPVS) is synthesized by the simultaneous introduction of phenyl and vinyl side groups to achieve a crystallization temperature of -93.0 °C. The developed PMPVS-based adhesive exhibited adhesion strengths of 25.9 and 36.7 kPa at -70 and -80 °C, respectively, while a conventional PDMS-based adhesive has an adhesion strength of only 0.7 kPa at -70 °C. Moreover, the PMPVS-based adhesive retained an adhesion strength of 29.4 kPa at -80 °C even after 100 cycles. Robotic grippers equipped with this adhesive can softly grasp irregular, fragile, and heavy objects with a reduced gripping force of up to 90% compared to grippers without adhesive over a wide temperature range.
