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

Microneedle (MN)-based electrochemical biosensors hold promising potential for noninvasive continuous monitoring of interstitial fluid biomarkers. However, challenges, such as instability and biofouling, exist. This study proposes a design employing hollow MN to encapsulate a zwitterionic polymer hydrogel sensing layer with excellent biocompatibility and antifouling properties to address these issues. MN shell isolates the internal microporous sensing layer from subcutaneous friction, and the hydrogel filling leverages the MNs' three-dimensional structures, enabling high-dense loading of biorecognition elements. The hollow MNs are successfully fabricated from high-molecular-weight polylactic acid via drawing lithography, exhibiting sufficient strength for effective epidermis penetration. Additionally, a high-performance gold nanoconductive layer is successfully deposited inside the MN hollow channel, establishing a stable electrical connection between the polymer MN and the hydrogel sensing layer. To support the design, numerical simulations of position-based diffusive analyte solutes reveal fast-responsive electrochemical signals attributed to the high diffusion coefficient of the hydrogel and the concentrated structure of the hollow channel encapsulation. Experimental results and numerical simulations underscore the advantages of this design, showcasing rapid response, high sensitivity, long-term stability, and excellent antifouling properties. Fabricated MN sensors exhibited biosafety, feasibility, and effectiveness, with accurate and rapid in vivo glucose monitoring ability. This study emphasizes the significance of rational design, structural utilization, and micro-nanofabrication to unlock the untapped potential of MN biosensors.
