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

3D bioprinting technologies and bioink development are enabling significant advances in miniaturized and integrated biosensors. For example, bioreceptors can be immobilized within a porous 3D structure to significantly amplify the signal, while biocompatible and mechanically flexible systems uniquely enable wearable chem- and bio-sensors. This advancement is accelerating translation by enabling the production of high performance, reproducible, and flexible analytical devices. The formulation of the bioink plays a crucial role in determining the bio-functionality of the resulting printed structures, e.g., the porosity that allows the analyte to diffuse through the 3D structure, the affinity and avidity of the receptors, etc. This review explores the next generation of advanced bioinks for biosensor development and provides insights into the latest cutting-edge bioprinting technologies. The bioprinting methods available for biosensor fabrication including inkjet, extrusion, and laser-based bioprinting, are discussed. The advantages and limitations of each method are analysed, and recent advancements in bioprinting technologies are presented. The review then delves into the properties of advanced bioinks, such as biocompatibility, printability, stability, and applicability. Different types of advanced bioinks are explored, including multicomponent, stimuli-responsive, and conductive bioinks. Finally, the next generation of bioinks for biosensors is considered, identifying possible new opportunities and challenges. Overall, this literature review highlights the combined importance of bioink formulation and bioprinting methods for the development of high-performance analytical biosensors.
