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

This work reports a printable, ultrasoft, highly stretchable, adhesive, breathable hydrogel engineered that is radically tuned by controlling the precursor pH level for simultaneous biosignal monitoring. The hydrogel based on porous laser-induced graphene composites synthesized using in situ laser reduction with polydopamine and tannic acid exhibits ultrasmall Young's modulus of 1.08 kilopascal, super high stretchability of ~8000%, and desirable conductivity and adhesive strength for through-hair signal monitoring even in the presence of sweat. The excellent skin conformability of the hydrogel provides the resulting electrodes with low skin contact impedance at both wet and dry conditions, a high signal-to-noise ratio, and motion artifact-free monitoring of electrophysiological signals. Combined with electrodermal activity and strain sensing from the facile patterning/printing of the reusable and storable gel, the proof-of-concept demonstration of the device platform is showcased for anxiety monitoring and nerve rehabilitation studies.
