An implantable, wireless, battery-free system for tactile pressure sensing.
Article in Microsystems & nanoengineering, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
The sense of touch is critical to dexterous use of the hands and thus an essential component of efforts to restore hand function after amputation or paralysis. Prosthetic systems have addressed this goal with wearable tactile sensors. However, such wearable sensors are suboptimal for neuroprosthetic systems designed to reanimate a patient's own paralyzed hand. Here, we developed an implantable tactile sensing system intended for subdermal placement. The system is composed of a microfabricated capacitive pressure sensor, a custom integrated circuit supporting wireless powering and data transmission, and a laser-fused hermetic silica package. The miniature device was validated through simulations, benchtop assessment, and testing in a primate hand. The sensor implanted in the fingertip accurately measured applied skin forces with a resolution of 4.3 mN. The output from this novel sensor could be encoded in the brain with microstimulation to provide tactile feedback. More broadly, the materials, system design, and fabrication approach establish new foundational capabilities for various applications of implantable sensing systems.
