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

The flexible foam piezoresistive sensor demonstrates significant potential for wearable strain-sensing applications due to its substantial deformation capacity, excellent flexibility, and cost effectiveness. However, conventional flexible foam piezoresistive sensors often struggle to simultaneously achieve high sensitivity, a wide pressure detection range, fast response and long-term stability. This paper employed a glucose-based sugar-templating method to fabricate a fine-pore (50 μm) foam structure complemented by a dual-filler strategy to enhance overall performance. A robust porous conductive network was constructed by embedding zinc oxide (ZnO) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix. The resulting sensor exhibits outstanding piezoresistive properties, featuring a wide linear detection range (0-80% strain) and a high sensitivity of 9.02 kPa
