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

Strain resilient nanocomposite conductors with self-healing ability are vital for skin-mounted devices and system-level bioelectronics, especially for wireless systems that require extremely low surface resistance and high stability of electromagnetic wave transmission. However, nanocomposite conductors inherently suffer from a trade-off between conductivity and flexible deformability or self-healing ability. Herein, a strain resilient and self-healing conductor (with ultralow sheet resistance of 10.8 mΩ/sq) is fabricated based on a well-designed polymer binder. It not only maintains outstanding stretchability (a break at elongation over 700%) and electrical stability during repeated stretching (1000 cycles) but also exhibits self-healing performance. On this basis, a flexible antenna with outstanding electromagnetic performance (realized gain of 5.25 dBi, nearly equivalent to that of copper-based devices), excellent self-healing ability is realized for wireless e-skin which can support instant communication exceeding 70 m. This approach overcomes the trade-off between high conductivity and excellent mechanical property in nanocomposite conductor and paves the way for completely self-healing flexible antenna towards wireless e-skins.
