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 capacitive sensors for electronic skins and soft robotic systems are expected to provide not only high-pressure sensitivity but also multifunctional sensing capabilities. However, conventional dielectric layer designs often suffer from a trade-off among multiple functionalities. To address this challenge, we developed a flexible sensor featuring a hybrid microstructured functional layer for pressure sensing, distance monitoring, and material identification. The functional layer was a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film embedded with micro-sized sugar particles and patterned with microstructures on its surface. The pressure-sensing performance, such as pressing sensitivity, response time, and hysteresis, was first evaluated. The pressure sensitivity reached 3.55 × 10
