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

The mechanical properties of covalently crosslinked gels or elastomers stem from the crosslinking of the polymer chains and entanglement. Increasing the crosslinking density of covalent networks improves their entropic elasticity but also increases their brittleness. Addressing conflicts between rigidity and toughness, large strains, elasticity, and crack extension presents a challenging task. Here, we present a spatial crosslinking (SC) strategy utilizing a spider-like crosslinker to materialize creep-resistant, and low-hysteresis hydrogels under substantial deformations (ε = 6000%). The SC approach not only boosts the entropic elasticity of the hydrogels but also disperses stress arising from fractured polymers, leading to notable enhancements in fracture strain, toughness, and crack propagation strain (8200%). Furthermore, the SC hydrogels exhibit the remarkable ability to endure 99% of the ultimate compressive strain at the fully swollen state, along with rapid rebound and creep-free capabilities, rendering them highly promising candidates for various applications such as drift-free sensor, artificial blood vessels, and soft robotics.
