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

Permeable textiles show great potential for daily wearable electronics. As crucial electronic components, rigid chips suffer from modulus mismatch with elastic textile substrates, hindering the development of stretchable hybrid electronics. Herein, we report laser-programmed textile hybrid electronics (LPTHE) featuring seamless integration of wires and chips onto laser-programmed textiles (LPTs). Through selective and controllable laser-polymer interaction, LPTs are tailored with gradient stiffness and interfacial affinities. The laser-pretreated regions exhibit a modulus increase ranging from 2.7-fold to 14.9-fold, while maintaining permeability and biological safety. Such LPT provides stretch stability to LPTHE, creating strain isolation between rigid chips and elastic textiles, while also protecting wires on textiles from disconnection and cross-layer short circuits. We demonstrate an LPTHE screen with 5 × 5 light-emitting diodes displaying variable patterns under deformation. Additionally, an untethered stretchable LPTHE patch continuously monitors four health parameters during exercise. The proposed strategy bridges the gap between hybrid electronics and elastic daily textiles.
