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

Ionic touch panels are regarded as a key platform for future human-computer interaction and meta-universe due to their stretchable, transparent and skin-fitting properties. Inspired by the fact that human skin relies on ionic current to sense contact position information, we have investigated an ionogel based closed-loop electrical system that also converts contact into ionic current to form a self-powered single-layer ionic touch panel. Benefiting from the slowed charge transfer dynamics, the positive feedback coupling of the electrical double layer, and the high-density charge characteristics, the device generates an approximately steady-state electrical signal when touched. It is clearly different from the pulsed electrical phenomenon of conventional contact electrification devices. When a finger touches the touch panel, the voltage/current signal amplitude at each corner electrode of the ionogel has been proven to express the touch position. The continuity of the electrical signal ensures high-resolution recognition of the touch trajectory without the need for further contact separation. With the advantages of good transparency, large stretchability, self-power, single-layer structure, fast response and high resolution, we expect this emerging ionic touch panel to be an ideal candidate for a variety of human-computer interaction applications.
