Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The ability to control the movement of charged species in the circuitry of living beings and machines is essential for complex signal processing, computation, and, ultimately, higher functionality. We describe a class of photo-ion generators (PIGs) based on non-ionic photoacids that can create large (> 1000x) irreversible changes in ionic conductivity under illumination, depending on the PIG species, concentration, and solvent. Incorporation of PIGs into elastomers by simple swelling methods yields soft (60 kPa ≤ E ≤ 10 MPa), stretchable, photo-ionic gels (PIGels). The resolution of photo-patterned conductivity in PIGels is less than 1 cm and demonstrates stability over several days, suggesting utility in engineered devices. Leveraging the photo-responsive properties of these materials, we demonstrate high-sensitivity mechanical sensors via conductance changes ([∆G/G
