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

Flexible biosensors offer rapid and low-cost diagnostics but are often limited by the mechanical and electrochemical instability of polymer-based designs in biological media. Here, we introduce a metallic flexible microcrack transducer that exploits the intrinsic deformability of superelastic nickel-titanium (NiTi) for label-free impedimetric detection. Mechanical bending of NiTi wires spontaneously generates martensitic-phase microcracks whose metal-gap-metal geometry forms the active transduction sites, where functional interfacial layers and captured analytes modulate the local dielectric environment and govern the impedance response. Our approach imparts a novel dielectric character to the alloy, enabling its unexplored application in the megahertz (MHz) frequency domain (0.01-10 MHz) where native NiTi is merely conductive.
