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

Inspired by the cutaneous wound healing mechanism observed in human scab formation, we engineered a series of multilayered silicone rubber composites through alternating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polydiborosiloxane (PDBS) laminates. The dynamic diboron-oxygen coordination bonds within PDBS enabled both autonomous self-healing through bond reconfiguration and enhanced impact resistance via energy dissipation. PDMS served dual functions as both a structural reinforcement matrix and a flow-restricting framework for PDBS, thereby improving the viscoelastic creep behavior and irreversible deformation tendencies characteristic of conventional non-Newtonian fluids. Notably, increasing the laminate count from 3 to 9 layers enhanced structural integration, yielding improvement in dimensional stability. All multilayer configurations demonstrated remarkable healing performance, achieving post-24 h self-healing efficiencies exceeding 95% across 3-layer, 5-layer, and 9-layer specimens. Rheological characterization revealed pronounced strain rate sensitivity under multiaxial loading conditions, with storage modulus showing proportional enhancement to applied strain rates in both transverse and longitudinal orientations.
