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

Elastomers that combine high strength, exceptional toughness, self-healing capability, and scalable processability remain difficult to achieve. Here, we report a leech-inspired cellulosic elastomer constructed from cellulose, diatomite, and polyacrylamide through ethanol-induced structural reconstruction. The resulting bioinspired elastomer exhibits enhanced mechanical performance and efficient energy dissipation, with nearly complete compressive recoverability, a compressive strength above 90 MPa, and a load-bearing capacity exceeding 160,000 times its own weight. The elastomer further demonstrates high resistance to static puncture and dynamic impact, with a puncture resistance energy of 304.22 mJ and an impact toughness of 28.62 MJ m
