Mechanical Training-Induced Restructuring Enables Self-Extendability and Mechanical Consistency in Organohydrogels.
Article in Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Echinoderms, such as sea cucumber, dynamically change their body size to environmental stimuli. By contrast, typical synthetic materials cannot reinvent their structures once formed. We propose a strategy for developing "self-extendability" polymeric materials that can be structurally tuned by repetitive mechanical stress stimulation. Polyion complex glycerol (PICG) hydrogels undergo self-extendability and mechanical consistency, and the materials substantially grow in deformation under repetitive loading through a diffusion of disentangled dense structure to sparse structure. This strategy is generalizable to other polymers and topologies. Additionally, the gel is able to adhere to 3D surface. These advancements make our gels ideal for e-skin substrate materials; they simultaneously offer extended performance and curved surface attachment. This work may open an avenue for the development of self-extendability materials for intelligent devices.
