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

This study presents a novel fabrication approach for the precise patterning of conductive polymer coatings (graphene/PEDOT:PSS) on flexible substrates. Traditional lithographic methods often result in chemical or thermal degradation of polymer chains, compromising electrical conductivity. The proposed method utilizes an inversely structured gold nanocoating (400-450 nm) as a sacrificial template. By employing a selective lift-off process in a potassium iodide solution, high-resolution polymer topologies are achieved without damaging the active material. The resulting structures exhibit a sheet resistance of 90-100 Ω/sq and maintain linear sensitivity to temperature and humidity, making them suitable for next-generation wearable medical diagnostics.
