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
Stretchable and self-healable elastomers with excellent mechanical properties can find attractive applications in electronic skin, soft robotics, and electrical devices. To date, it remains a huge challenge to synthesize self-healing elastomers that integrate extreme stretchability, relatively high toughness, and high self-recoverability. Herein, inspired by biological tissues and mussel byssus, we circumvent this dilemma by introducing multiple hydrogen bonds (UPy) and metal coordination bonds (DAP-Fe(iii)) into a linear polyurethane network. The self-complementary quadruple hydrogen-bond interactions between UPy dimers were incorporated as physical cross-linkages, with greatly enhanced mechanical strength and high stretchability. In addition, strong Fe-coordination bonds can readily break and re-form, a feature that facilitates energy dissipation during stretching, leading to significantly improved robustness while maintaining stretchability. The polyurethane elastomer exhibited all the desired properties, including high tensile stress (∼30 MPa), high stretchability (∼4100%), exceptional toughness (∼470 MJ m
