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

The rapid advancement of wearable technology has created an increasing demand for efficient, high-performance energy storage systems that also offer key characteristics such as flexibility, lightweight, and durability. Among the emerging materials, polymer hydrogels have garnered significant attention due to their unique combination of viscoelasticity, low density, and tunable porous nanostructures. These materials exhibit adaptable surface and structural properties, making them promising candidates for next-generation flexible and wearable energy storage devices. This work provides an overview of recent progress and innovations in the application of polymer hydrogels for the development of flexible energy storage systems. The intrinsic three-dimensional architecture and porous morphology of these hydrogels offer a versatile platform for constructing high-performance supercapacitors, rechargeable batteries, and personal thermal management devices. Various types of polymer hydrogels and their principal fabrication methods are discussed in detail, along with the structural factors that influence their electrochemical and mechanical performance. Furthermore, recent advancements in integrating polymer hydrogel materials into wearable and flexible technologies-such as energy storage devices, thermal regulation systems, and multifunctional energy platforms-are comprehensively reviewed and analyzed.
