In situ formation of adaptive electronic skin in 2 seconds enabled by metal coordination.
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 1 paper.
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
Epidermal electronics, which are flexible and conformable electronic systems designed to interact seamlessly with human skin, hold great promise for healthcare monitoring and personal electronics. However, traditional fabrication methods face challenges of reliance on non-sustainable materials, intricate and time-consuming processes, and material softness-induced fragile transfer to target substrates. Inspired by the "milk skin" phenomenon, we developed a rapid dipping-dipping molecular assembly method to fabricate cellulose-based bio-skin in situ within seconds, exhibiting ultra-thin, highly conformal, shape-customizable, degradable, and low-impedance performances. This technique immerses substrates sequentially into carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and Cu(II) solutions, leveraging strong metal-coordination interactions. Membrane formation efficiency, influenced by the oxidation and coordination characteristics of metal ions, follows the order: Cu(II) > Fe(II) > Ca(II). CMC-Ag(I)/CMC-Cu(II) form stable membranes, whereas CMC-Fe(II) forms fragmented structures, and CMC-Mg(II)/CMC-Ca(II) remain in solution. This adaptable method can also be extended to other biomacromolecules like methylcellulose and carboxymethyl chitosan, broadening applications. The bio-skin enables real-time monitoring of electrocardiograms (ECG), electrooculograms (EOG), electroencephalograms (EEG), and electromyograms (EMG), showcasing its potential for wearable, biocompatible electronics in healthcare.
