Robust Polyimide/Graphene Composites as Electrically Functional Materials for Space-Compatible Biomedical Applications.
Article in Polymers, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Polyimide-based composites with graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) fillers are investigated as multifunctional materials for potential space-compatible biomedical monitoring. These composites are designed to combine the intrinsic high thermal and chemical stability of polyimides, as well as their well-established radiation resistance reported in the literature, with the electrical functionality of graphene. PI/GNP membranes are fabricated by casting dispersions of graphene nanoplatelets within the polyimide solution, using a green and bio-based solvent (dimethyl isosorbide), followed by thermal treatment in vacuum. The effect of UV-C irradiation is investigated as a sterilization-relevant stress condition, showing that the PI/GNP composites retain their main chemical and surface characteristics after exposure. In addition, irradiation is associated with an improvement in the electrical response, suggesting that the conductive network formed by graphene nanoplatelets remains effective after treatment. Overall, this study highlights the PI/GNP composites as robust and electrically functional candidate materials for dry electrode applications in harsh environments. By combining chemical stability, thermal resistance, a stable surface and electrical conductivity, these membranes emerge as promising candidates for future health monitoring applications on Earth and during long-term missions in space.
