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

Flexible X-ray scintillators are critical for next-generation conformal imaging and wearable radiation monitoring, yet their development is hindered by the persistent trade-offs among particle dispersion, scintillation efficiency, and mechanical robustness in conventional composite designs. Here, we overcome these limitations via a ligand-matrix interface engineering strategy, integrating highly soluble copper-iodide clusters with a self-healing fluorinated block copolymer to produce highly stretchable and autonomously self-healing scintillator films. Interfacial coordination and ion-dipole interactions guide the in situ self-assembly of uniformly dispersed, aggregation-induced emission-active clusters within the polymer matrix, while dynamic dipole-dipole interactions between fluorinated segments confer high stretchability (up to 2000% strain) and room-temperature self-healing capability. The resulting films achieve a high spatial resolution of 16.4 lp mm
