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

Soft hydrogels capable of simultaneous shape morphing and optical modulation under a single stimulus hold promise for next-generation intelligent materials. However, most systems rely on complex architectures or multi-component triggers, limiting integration and responsiveness. Here, we develop a structurally homogeneous nanocluster-gel platform by embedding water-soluble gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) into a polyacrylamide matrix, enabling synchronized mechanical deformation and tunable luminescence in response to solvent polarity. Upon exposure to organic solvents, the gel rapidly contracts (<5 s), while spatial confinement of AuNCs within the polymer boosts quantum yield from 6.05% to 22.83%. The emission profile is programmable by varying cluster size, highlighting AuNCs as structurally tunable emission modulators. Kinetic analysis reveals non-Fickian swelling/deswelling-governed by solvent diffusion and polymer relaxation-that synergistically modulates emission. This enables real-time, quantitative optical detection of solvent gradients (R
