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

One-dimensional (1D) multifunctional fibers have garnered significant attention due to their advantageous geometry properties, which allows conformal interfacing with soft biological tissues and efficient charge transport. Here, we developed a solution-deposition strategy for the scalable and cost-effective fabrication of stretchable liquid metal fibers integrated with electrochemically stable, tissue-interfacing electrodes, thereby enabling the realization of stretchable multifunctional fibers. This fiber seamlessly combines electrodes and conductive pathways into a single structure, enabling versatile applications such as electrophysiological signal sensing, in vivo nerve stimulation, and wireless energy transmission. The multifunctional fiber demonstrates significantly improved electrical performance under strain, maintaining conductivity during stretching and bending, and exhibits lower impedance and higher signal stability, particularly during physiological monitoring and electrical stimulation. The fiber's excellent biocompatibility and mechanical compliance makes it well suited for wearable systems and long-term biomedical applications, offering a robust platform for next generation 1D bioelectronics.
