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

Metallic thin films are indispensable in flexible electronics, yet their brittleness under tensile strain has impeded their use in intrinsically stretchable devices. Here, we overcome this barrier with a multilayer platform of alternating nanomembranes of metal and porous elastomer assembled via exponential stacking. The porous elastomer layers anchor adjacent metal layers and facilitate vertical percolation. Under strain, they dissipate stress and laterally misalign cracks within successive metal layers, forming crack-bridging conductive pathways. This architecture achieves synergistic scaling of electrical and mechanical performance with increasing layer number, demonstrating bulk-like conductance at strains exceeding 700% across a wide range of metals. Using nanomembrane stacks of gold and platinum, we fabricated stretchable electrode arrays that enabled high-fidelity recordings and electrical stimulation of murine colonic electrophysiology
