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 hold great promise for health management and chronic disease monitoring, yet their widespread applications are limited by insufficient stretchability, breathability, and mechano-electrical stability. Herein, we report a swelling-induced modulus design that enables the construction of breathable and strain-isolated substrates for integrated electronics. The swelling-induced in-situ polymerization of acrylates within polyurethane membrane effectively enhances the mechanical properties while preserving air permeability. In addition, by optimizing substrate modulus and interfacial contact, rigid islands for supporting functional devices and soft bridges for assembling interconnects are rationally designed. As a result, the circuit board achieves high stretchability (519%, 3.86 MPa) and electrical stability (ΔR/R
