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

Precise detection of subtle temperature variations under cryogenic conditions is critical for environmental monitoring but remains challenging because conventional thermistors suffer from limited sensitivity and mechanical interference. Here, we report a bioinspired supramolecular thermistor that achieves thermal transduction through molecularly gated charge transport. The hybrid polyurethane/carboxymethyl cellulose (PU/CMC)/MXene/NiO composite integrates dynamic hydrogen-bond reconfiguration, hydrated ionic conduction, and temperature-dependent electronic transport. Upon cooling, cooperative supramolecular evolution continuously modulates coupled ionic and electronic pathways, producing an ultrahigh negative temperature coefficient of -22,280% °C
