Flexible Ultrasonic Transducers for Wearable Biomedical Applications: A Review on Advanced Materials, Structural Designs, and Future Prospects.
Review in IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Due to the rapid developments in materials science and fabrication techniques, wearable devices have recently received increased attention for biomedical applications, particularly in medical ultrasound (US) imaging, sensing, and therapy. US is ubiquitous in biomedical applications because of its noninvasive nature, nonionic radiating, high precision, and real-time capabilities. While conventional US transducers are rigid and bulky, flexible transducers can be conformed to curved body areas for continuous sensing without restricting tissue movement or transducer shifting. This article comprehensively reviews the application of flexible US transducers in the field of biomedical imaging, sensing, and therapy. First, we review the background of flexible US transducers. Following that, we discuss advanced materials and fabrication techniques for flexible US transducers and their enabling technology status. Finally, we highlight and summarize some promising preliminary data with recent applications of flexible US transducers in biomedical imaging, sensing, and therapy. We also provide technical barriers, challenges, and future perspectives for further research and development.
