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

The miniaturization and high-frequency development of electronic devices demand advanced packaging materials that simultaneously possess improved thermal conductivity, notable electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness, and reliable electrical insulation. Although liquid metals exhibit superior thermal and electrical conductivity, their potential leakage may cause environmental contamination and corrosion of electronic components. Aiming at this dilemma, we designed novel liquid metal microcapsule composites. The composite features Ga-In alloy droplets encapsulated within poly(urea-formaldehyde) shells, which effectively harness the advantageous properties of liquid metals while preventing leakage risks and providing electrical insulation through the polymeric coating. Four microcapsules with different particle sizes (10.6, 9.8, 8.6, and 7.6 μm) were prepared, and LMMCS were synthesized. Comprehensive characterization revealed that, the composite containing 60 wt% of 9.8 μm microcapsules exhibited optimal thermal conductivity (0.527 W·m
