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

Flexible supercapacitors (SCs) have attracted considerable attention for wearable electronics, and developing high-performance electrolytes is critical for their practical application. While hydrogels have been widely investigated as solid electrolytes, studies on double-network (DN) hydrogel electrolytes specifically addressing the electrode-electrolyte interface stability under mechanical deformation remain relatively scarce. A major obstacle is maintaining a stable electrode-electrolyte interface under large mechanical deformation. Drawing inspiration from the mucus of a snail, which effectively adheres to various surfaces in challenging conditions, we present a self-healing xanthan gum/hydrophobically associated polyacrylamide/NaCl (XG/HPAAm/NaCl) hydrogel polymer electrolyte (HPE) that facilitates the creation of flexible SCs with improved mechanical and electrochemical properties. The optimized 2 wt% XG/HPAAm/0.4 M NaCl DN HPE exhibits a high ionic conductivity of 4.0 S/m, a tensile strength of 0.43 MPa, and an elongation at break of 11.7 mm/mm, along with a high adhesive energy of 254.7 J/m
