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

Herein, we report a biofriendly, air-operating electrochemical platform based on a unipolar coiled carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn artificial muscle that can operate either as an ionic actuator or as an ionotronic strain sensor. The device comprises two coiled CNT yarn electrodes coated with complementary ion-selective eutectogels, consisting of fixed-charge polymer networks swollen with a diluted deep eutectic solvent (DES), enabling selective ion transport. Under an applied potential difference, the complementary electrochemical responses of both electrodes produce synchronized unipolar contraction, whereas in sensing mode the device generates a strain-dependent open-circuit voltage (OCV) variation. In actuation mode, the device achieves a maximal reversible contractile stroke of 2.9% under a 90 mN pre-load. In sensing mode, it operates as a self-powered strain sensor with a sensitivity of 0.5 mV.%
