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

Mechanochromic mechanophores are a class of stress-sensitive molecules that undergo force-induced chemical transformations resulting in optical changes that enable direct visualization of stress and/or strain in polymeric materials. Unlike conventional mechanochromic mechanophores, the mechanically gated photoswitching strategy decouples the mechanochemical activation from the chromogenic response, enabling high force-specificity and modularity. However, previous designs are limited to diarylethene photoswitches, which typically provide only a simple binary (colorless-to-colored) response. Here, we report on a mechanically gated 3
