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 materials capable of transducing mechanical signals into electrical responses underpin advances in wearable systems, soft robotics, and underwater sensing technologies. Ceramic-polymer piezoelectric composites can combine high electromechanical activity with mechanical compliance, but controlling phase distribution and architecture remains challenging. Here, we report an ethanol-assisted freeze-casting strategy that endows soft lead zirconate titanate/polydimethylsiloxane composites with an anisotropic architecture, enabling both high piezoelectric performance and excellent mechanical deformability. The composites achieve a high piezoelectric charge coefficient of 275 pC·N
