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

Neck joints are susceptible to injury because of their extensive mobility and complex motion patterns, motivating the development of wearable motion sensors for health monitoring. Herein, we design a skin-conformal motion-monitoring strain sensor (SMS) based on a semi-liquid metal electrode and an adhesive encapsulation layer that promotes robust skin attachment. The sensor, fabricated by a simple printing method, exhibits consistent signal output across a broad range of stretching speeds, linear response up to 60% strain, detection of subtle 1% strain, and durability over 2,000 cycles without significant drift. Its strong adhesion also enables reusability and water resistance. When applied to multi-site neck motion recording and coupled with a convolutional neural network, the system classifies diverse neck movements with 96.9% accuracy. This work illustrates the promise of soft conductive materials and machine learning for practical neck healthcare applications.
