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
Continuous and accurate blood pressure monitoring is vital for the diagnosis and management of life-threatening cardiovascular diseases. Conventional fluid-filled catheter systems are fundamentally constrained by distortion, infection risks, and limited portability. In parallel, Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) sensors assembled to catheters face miniaturization bottlenecks and packaging complexity. Here, we present a flexible on-catheter interventional pressure sensor (CIPS), leveraging suspended-graphene arrays for pressure sensing and dual polymer encapsulation layers for hermetic and waterproof encapsulation. The highly integrated CIPS with compact architecture is enabled by cylindrical projection lithography (CPL)-based 3D in situ MEMS fabrication process. By introducing interdigital electrodes (IDEs) in sensitive areas and optimizing structural parameters, CIPS delivers an ultrafast response (<0.36 s), exceptional sensitivity (3.5 × 10⁻⁶·mmHg⁻¹), and a broad detection range (6-380 mmHg), outperforming state-of-the-art suspended-graphene pressure sensors. The dual-layer polymer encapsulation strategy ensures the hermetic and waterproof integrity of CIPS. Crucially, CIPS enables real-time monitoring of arterial pressure in the rat abdominal aorta, marking the first demonstration of suspended graphene in animal-level bioelectronic sensing. This work has also underscored the translational potential for CPL-based 3D in situ MEMS fabrication strategy.
