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

Despite tremendous advances in liquid metal (LM) patterning, as-fabricated LM-based patterns remain monofunctional as interconnects or sensors due to the predetermined, invariant electrical and electromechanical properties. System-level integration of functional units toward all-LM multifunctional stretchable electronics has been hindered by incompatible fabrication protocols or mechanical mismatch between units. This work introduces multifunctional all-LM stretchable electronics with spatial-variant electrical and electromechanical properties via programmable single-step transfer printing. Partial or complete transfer of LMPs via judicious engineering interface adhesion and LMP sizes leads to the transition of LM from the electrically conductive to nonconductive domain, along with tunability of their electrical resistance and electromechanical response. Spatial-variant LM patterns via single-step transfer printing can effectively avoid interfacial mechanical mismatch. Combining with compatibility for large-scale manufacturing, surface mounting, and skin interfacing, this single-step programmable transfer printing may pave the way for standalone all-LM stretchable electronics for physiological and mental health monitoring.
