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.
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
Nano-thick epidermal electronics have extraordinary lightweight and conformability characteristics, thus enable high-quality signal acquisition and imperceptible wearing experience. However, reducing the device thickness to nanoscale makes the rigidity extremely low thus the device curls spontaneously, imposing unprecedented challenges to the device fabrication, handling and recycling. To resolve the dilemma of epidermal electronics, we propose an edge-supporting strategy that maintains the benefits of nano thickness, meanwhile obtains practicality and reusability via reinforced edge scaffold. The nano-thick (~500 nm thick) core area of the device provides perfect conformal, firm, and burdenless contact with human skin. On the other hand, the edge scaffold (~5 μm thick) plays an important role in protecting internal fragile film from external forces and providing rigid support during handling and recycling. In addition, the edge scaffold enables spontaneous release of nano-thick electronics from the substrate in water, getting rid of the use of sacrificial layers and etchants. We demonstrate the use of the edge-supporting strategy to develop a physiological electrode with low impedance less than 3.6 kΩ at 1 kHz, a resistance-type temperature sensor with fast response time less than 0.5 ms and a nanoengineering-based pressure sensor with high sensitivity of 62.9 kPa
