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

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a sustainable scaffold for flexible energy-storage devices, but conventional biosynthesis provides limited control over through-thickness structure, making it difficult to integrate distinct functional regions within a monolithic structure. Here, we use oxygen-guided biosynthesis to grow spatially differentiated BC scaffolds (SDBC) for flexible all-in-one supercapacitors. By creating air-water and water-oil oxygen-accessible interfaces, the microbes' aerobic nature directs cellulose deposition into two dense biofilms connected by an open fibrillar interlayer in a single cultivation step. The dense surface region supports polyaniline loading and charge storage, while the interlayer accommodates the gel electrolyte and facilitates ion transport. The resulting supercapacitor combines structural continuity with deformation tolerance, achieving high ionic conductivity (112.0 mS cm
