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

We present herein a unique analytical methodology based on a one-step, three-dimensional printed sensing device for measuring sweat rate noninvasively, which allows for the assessment of hydration levels. It comprises a multilayered construction, and diverse designs are investigated, with the printing components consisting of conductive (CB-PLA) and nonconductive polylactic acid (PLA) printable materials. A prominent aspect is the integration of what is termed here as "floating electrodes", which advantageously modify the overall impedance of the device during sweat flow measurements. To rationalize the mechanism behind this, multiple sensor configurations, including two-, four-, six-, eight-, or multilayer structures, were thoroughly examined. Although multilayer configurations demonstrated the potential to enhance the overall capacity and sensing area, multiplying the number of electrodes in the device effectively resulted in a higher frequency of impedance variations while providing additional sweat rate data points from a single device. In off-body testing, the optimal system (based on four electrodes) exhibits a calibration range of 1-10 μL min
