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.
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
We present a flexible pH sensor which leverages the unique properties of reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline (rGO/PANI) composite films through an efficient and scalable hybrid microfabrication approach, wherein the rGO/PANI films are conformally coated on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates via dip-coating and thereafter lithographically patterned into precise arrays of interdigitated electrodes (IDEs), serving both as the pH-active medium and the electrical interface. Upon dip-coating, a thermal reduction process is performed to yield uniform rGO/PANI composite layers on PET substrates, where the PANI content is adjusted to 20% to optimize conductivity and protonation-driven response. Composition optimization is first performed using inkjet-printed silver (Ag) contacts and a conductometric readout mechanism is employed to explore pH-dependent behavior. Subsequently, IDE arrays are defined in the rGO/PANI using photolithography and oxygen-plasma etching, demonstrating clean pattern transfer and dimensional control on flexible substrates. Eliminating separate contact metals in the final design simplifies the stack and reduces cost. A set of IDE geometries is evaluated through I-V measurements in buffers of different pH values, revealing a consistent, monotonic change in electrical characteristics with pH and geometry-tunable response. The present study demonstrated that the most precise pH measurement was achieved with an 80:20 rGO/PANI composition within the pH 2-10 range. These results establish rGO/PANI IDEs as a scalable route to low-cost, miniaturized, and mechanically compliant pH sensors for field and in-line monitoring applications.
