High-strength liquid metal composite-hydrogel interfaces enable robust stretchable electronics.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Stretchable conductors are essential building blocks for next-generation wearable electronics and soft robotics. Among them, liquid metal-based conductors offer exceptional deformability but suffer from poor interfacial adhesion to substrates, often resulting in leakage under mechanical stress that compromises electromechanical stability and device durability. Here we report a universal interface-fusion printing strategy for fabricating metal-particle semi-embedded hydrogels, in which interconnected liquid metal and silver particles are firmly anchored at the hydrogel surface. The resulting liquid metal-based composite layer achieves a high interfacial adhesion strength of 234.4 kPa to the hydrogel substrate and a conductivity of 1.18 × 10
