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

Conductive silicone interfaces are promising polymeric materials for wearable bioelectronic systems because they combine electrical continuity with elastomeric compliance, environmental durability, and moldability. In low-voltage wearable microcurrent interfaces, however, functional performance is governed not only by intrinsic material conductivity, but also by conductive network continuity, molded geometry, interfacial contact, and transient electrical response. In this study, we developed a spike-structured conductive silicone interface using a commercially available electrically conductive two-component silicone rubber and investigated its structure-electrical property relationships as a volume-resistive polymer interface. The interface consisted of a conductive silicone body with protrusions 7 mm in height and 3.6 mm in diameter, supported by a 1 mm base layer and electrically integrated through an Ag-paste-connected upper conduction region. Using a representative electrode-level resistance of 47.08 Ω, the geometry-derived apparent interfacial resistive response was estimated as 18.0 Ω·cm for the three-spike configuration and 24.0 Ω·cm for the four-spike configuration. The corresponding effective conductive areas were 0.305 cm
