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 modification of traditional self-healing elastomers is typically accompanied by a loss of both strength and self-healing efficiency, limiting their long-term reliability. Developing multifunctional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based systems capable of overcoming this trade-off is thus critical for practical sensor applications. In this work, a photothermal-responsive self-healing PDMS elastomer (PUSE) was designed by constructing an elastomeric network from PDMS and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), with 4, 4'-dithiobisdiphenylamine (APDS) and epoxy-functionalized 2, 4, 6, 8 -tetramethyl - 2, 4, 6, 8 - tetra [3 - (hydroxyphenylmethoxy) propyl] cyclotetrasiloxane (TEC) as chain extenders. The synergistic effect of dynamic disulfide bonds and hydrogen bonds endowed the elastomer with reversible self-healing ability, while rigid phenyl and siloxane rings enhanced mechanical robustness. The optimized PUS
