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

Smart textiles face inherent compromises between functionality and wearability due to rigid electronics and complex circuitry. Here, we introduce a touch-luminescence (TouchLumi) fiber that overcomes this trade-off by enabling chip-free, real-time tactile-visual interaction via electric field confinement. The fiber integrates a conductive core, a high-permittivity poly(vinylidene fluoride) hexafluoropropylene/barium titanate dielectric layer, and a copper ion-doped zinc sulfide electroluminescent sheath. Upon touch or conductor-induced capacitive coupling, dielectric mismatch concentrates the electric field within the emissive layer, driving localized and simultaneous high-brightness emission at a portable 3-volt power without requiring any other external field or support. This synergistic design merges tactile signal detection and visual feedback into a unified closed-loop system. Crucially, TouchLumi fibers are continuously producible with robust washability and textile compatibility, supporting digital embroidery and large-area machine weaving. We demonstrated its applications, including selective pattern illumination via wet-fingertip activation, multipoint responsive interfaces, and optical messaging through a keyboard textile. TouchLumi fiber enables intuitive tactile-visual interaction that unlocks transformative applications in assistive and inclusive communications.
