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

Local electrical stimulation (LES) is a widely used clinical method to treat peripheral nerve injury. However, existing plate electrodes (PE) usually suffer from low electronic transport efficiency, whereas acupuncture electrical stimulation may cause damage to normal tissues. There is an urgent need to develop an innovative LES technique with efficient electronic transport, minimal tissue injury and enhanced biosafety. Here, we present a new stretchable transcutaneous electrical stimulation system (STESS) that integrates dissolvable conductive microneedles (DCMN) for optimal skin penetration and electronic transport, along with snake-like electrodes that offer superior flexibility, which can effectively penetrate the stratum corneum, enabling deep tissue electrostimulation with minimal injury.
