Advancements and Applications of Micro and Nanostructured Capacitive Sensors: A Review.
Article in Sensors and actuators. A, Physical, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Capacitors are essential components in modern electrical systems, functioning primarily to store electrical charges and regulate current flow. Capacitive sensors, developed in the 20th century, have become crucial in various applications, including touchscreens and smart devices, due to their ability to detect both metallic and non-metallic objects with high sensitivity and low energy consumption. The advancement of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology has significantly enhanced the capabilities of capacitive sensors, leading to unprecedented sensitivity, dynamic range, and cost-effectiveness. These sensors are integral to modern devices, enabling precise measurements of proximity, pressure, strain, and other parameters. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the development, fabrication, and integration of micro and nanostructured capacitive sensors. In terms of an electric field, the working and detection principles are discussed with analytical equations and our numerical results. The focus extends to novel fabrication methods using advanced materials to enhance sensitivities for various parameters, such as proximity, force, pressure, strain, temperature, humidity, and liquid sensing. Their applications are demonstrated in wearable devices, human-machine interfaces, biomedical sensing, health monitoring, robotics control, industrial monitoring, and molecular detection. By consolidating existing research, this review offers insights into the advancements and future directions of capacitive sensor technology.
