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

Developing high-toughness, low-hysteresis, and highly compressible polymer hydrogels as wearable strain sensors with superior detection ranges, durability, and signal accuracy is still a grand challenge due to contradictory characteristics. Herein, inspired by epithelial tissue, an epithelium-like structure hydrogel with cell-like particles (PLTAV) is synthesized from a water-in-oil high internal phase emulsion. During loading-unloading processes, the hydrophilic cell-like particles can deform reversibly and be cyclically divided into small-sized particles and aggregated, thereby dissipating more energy. Therefore, the PLTAV hydrogel with high water content (90.4 wt%) has superior stretchability (1368%), ultrahigh toughness (2.64 MJ·m
