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

Wearable electronics are increasingly utilized in mobile healthcare, human-machine interfaces, and portable energy systems due to their inherent flexibility and stretchability. Recently, MXene, a two-dimensional material, has emerged as a transformative material for flexible sensors, owing to its exceptional electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, hydrophilicity, and tunable surface chemistry. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in flexible pressure sensors based on polymer/MXene composites. The fundamental sensing mechanisms are elaborated, including piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, and triboelectric modes, and the rational selection of substrate materials, fabrication techniques, and structural design principles for high-performance sensors are comprehensively discussed. Furthermore, the article spotlights the promising applications of polymer/MXene-based sensors across a range of cutting-edge fields. Finally, the key challenges hindering their large-scale production and practical deployment are outlined to guide future research and accelerate the widespread adoption of polymer/MXene composites in flexible sensing technologies.
